I think the proper phrase should be "...a poorly done engine swap with
little to no documentation will de-value the car terribly..."

No, you won't de-value the car terribly. Come on, you folks haven't
watched custom DeLoreans sell before? That rotary DeLorean went for
$32k, did it not? I've seen V8 powered DeLoreans sell in the high 20's
- low 30's, quite a bit more than the ~$15-20k they would have been
worth otherwise.

You WILL be catering to a more limited market by abandoning the
purists, but only slightly so. The additional interest from the
general public (people looking for a super fast car) would far
outweigh that loss.
