THE engine



I am writing because I would like to receive some feedback. 
I just purchased an 81 D and I love the car. After reading almost all 
the tech's, specs, and everything else I came to the conclusion that 
Delorean car can NOT stay in the past! I am going to push my D into 
the future! How you ask? I am sick and tired of those little things 
ie. I cant make a 3 point turning movement, cold start problems, hot 
start problems, dash lights dont work, radio sucks...geeezes! The 
technology in the early 80's wasnt as good as today, we all agree on 
that. The D was the marvel of its time, I think we all agree on that 
also, but we have moved! I will bring my car up to date with this 
awesome technology. First is first. The Delorean needs a power plant 
that can show the world that it can keep up if not beat cars of its 
class like the Corvette or the Porshe. I am putting the all aluminum 
32 valve Northstar engine that produces 300hp stock and weighing only 
50lbs more (give or take few lbs). 
With the 2700lb weight of the Delorean and 300hp engine I will expect 
nothing less than at least 0-60 in 6 second flat, if not less! Next 
the power steering has to be installed (sorry), need to think "high 
speed, low drag", you dont see Ferrari without a power steering do 
you? . ABS breaks is a must also. The dashboard lacks tons of 
updates. The physical appearence will be redone up to the Lamborghini 
looks (so beautiful) I am planning on installing the digital cluster 
out of the 89 Corvette. Now thats what will make the car! I am 
thinking about basically updating the D with Corvette's parts. My car 
wont die in a museum somewhere but it will live and prosper with all 
the other big boys on the streets. Whoever wants my engine let me 
know, Im sure its still good and outdated, only 67K miles.
Thnx for reading and I didnt mean to offend anyone, but I think 
someone had to say it. 
Any comments, suggestions or questions feel free to e-mail me 
VegasCop1@xxxx 

This car will be a very badd sleeper.

Thnx,
Ski VIN 4649.
