I take it your mechanic knows all about engine swaps in DeLoreans?  
Is he going to back up his work and stand behind you to work out all 
of the issues?  What about mounts and the transmission bell?  Does 
that price include those?  Electrical?

What?!  I am not a mechanic, but I have performed EVERY repair and 
maintenance routine on my DeLorean - correctly - using the vendors' 
parts and support.  If I can do it, anyone can!  It's not rocket 
science - it's a car.  A classic, exotic, no-longer-produced, movie-
star car.

If you purchased your DeLorean for the horsepower, you obviously did 
not do your homework beforehand.

If you feel like you're alone now, think about the support you will 
be losing from the vendors and the community if it's not a PRV6 
anymore.  

If you haven't read Owning an Orphan before, you should.  It's in the 
Files section.

Like I said, you can do whatever you want.  You just sound like you 
might be a new owner and maybe an engine swap isn't your answer.
