I got my loan a small local bank and they were more than happy to meet my need on the loan. They will work harder to get your business. The bank I deal with everyday would only go 36 months, but I prefered to have 42 (just to lower my obligation). I called this other bank, which I have had other dealings with and he (the bank president) approves my loan with a great rate. Just a few weeks ago I got a wild idea of maybe purchasing another DeLorean. I go see the bank president and he tells me to just pick one out and get him the VIN and he would handle the rest. Of course I make my payments on time and always pay extra on the principle so that may be why a 2nd car loan was soo easy to get.

The 20 Hp gain from the Eagle engine is not worth the hassle. It would be more challenging to modify an existing underpowered engine than do a simple swap which the Eagle is. Even though it requires using the D's lower crank, modifying a few mounting holes on heads (to accomidate the AC) and installing an electronic fuel injection...it's fairly simple. If I was going to go through the trouble of engine swaps and want more of a challenge (which I am going to do ;)) I would swap it with the Caddy NorthStar engine. Now this is an ENGINE :). I have been doing some reasearch on this and allot of car builders/Rod builders use this engine. It's light, small and powerfull, 300hp powerful. Wire it up right and you can enable the "Limp Home" mode that the Caddy's feature. This engine can run without a drop of antifreeze, when the computer detects the engine is over heating, it stops firing in four cylinders and turns the V8 into a straight 4. 4 cylinders continue to fire while four cylinders pump air in and out of the engine to cool it down, pretty much turns it into an air cooled engine. Just enough for you to get home or a shop. Like I said, IMHO to go from 130 to 150 with an engine swap then going from there to modify the engine you swapped into the D to get more HP is a waste of money. May as well put that money towards modifying your original D that has "Hidden power". After all...what's a true engine swap/conversion without a few bloody knuckles?

I went to visit a lady in Rome, NY a while back. It seems she won in a lawsuit 5 DeLoreans from her ex-boyfriend. Anyway I was interested in seeing them, so she invited me down. I was amazed at what I saw. Not one of these cars were in very good shape. One was painted Silver metallic (like a bass boat) and had the mods mentioned before i.e. television, radar detectors, etc. The other 4 were all SS, but with mods on the front fascias and were in terrible shape. I looked at a list she had from an appraiser who said they were all worth about 14K each, except the painted one that was worth 10K. I told her I would maybe pay 5 for the painted one. She declined, and off I went. I often wondered if she got rid of them yet or not. Was this one the Silver metallic?
