?snip?. I think the better choice would be to use the V6 version sometimes called the baby Northstar. I think stock out of the box it is 225 HP and you can probably tweek that up with a power chip - Dennis?.snip? I have heard the V6 version referred to as the ?Shortstar? which I think is more amusing and better fitting (pun intended). Back to the Northstar, as it is a 32V V8 it is heavier than many other V8?s which upsets the 68% rear bias of the DeLorean even more. Sure, the Northstar will sound gorgeous, listen to this: HYPERLINK "http://tinyurl.com/2c6fsd"http://tinyurl.com/2c6fsd but you are sacrificing handling for all that power and sound. This one even mentions the infamous 88mph? HYPERLINK "http://tinyurl.com/yr8nf2"http://tinyurl.com/yr8nf2 This one has been fitted with a turbo? HYPERLINK "http://tinyurl.com/2454m7"http://tinyurl.com/2454m7 So much development has taken place in the years post DeLorean that you can now upgrade the DeLorean to the 3.0L V6 12V turbo with EFi as discussed in other posts without added too much weight.
