[DML] Re: cost of the Northstar conversion



Regarding the comments on the cost of the Northstar conversion, yes it
sounds like a lot. But if you think its too high, try doing the designing,
engineering, developing, sourcing of parts, construction, plumbing, wiring,
trouble shooting, etc. yourself. The price is for a complete, finished,
out-the-door conversion. People with the skill and talent to do this type
of work earn their compensation, just as those who can afford to pay it earn
theirs. Besides, if it was $1995, every DeLorean would be converted, and
who would ever want that?

For the record, my supercharged Chevy-powered DeLorean cost around $10,000
to build for everything including the car itself, excluding labor. Figure
in another 5 years of work at, what, maybe a low $35/hour - do the math, it
would have been just as high or higher. Point is, if you want something
like that you have two choices - do it yourself, or pay someone who can.
