This DMC DeLorean rolled out of the factory with a 2.85 L PRV ZMJ-159 V6 making 130 horsepower and 153 lb-ft of torque. The owner Christopher Hawes sent the DeLorean to Craig Taylor at DynoTorque in Tyseley, Birmingham, UK for an engine swap. There the V6 was replaced with a 6.3 L LS3 V8 making 526 horsepower and 445 lb-ft. The engine features a Texas Speed Stage 1 LS3 camshaft and Emerald ECU. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a G50/52 five-speed transaxle from a Porsche 911 Turbo (964) using a custom adapter plate.

I wish i could be involved in these awesome transforms
Wonder how they kept the rear bumper from melting!
Cost to do my 280zx ?
That’s the right way a deLorean should be. 👍
He’ll yes
Should have been this way from the factory. WOW
Awesome way to give an iconic car a real bit of oomph in the go department, now to up the ante someone needs to install a 6.2 hellcat motor in one. Please i dare you
Why not just take the easy way out and strap a LSA blower to the LS3 and make more power than the hellcat?
Where can you find a shop that will do these conversions for you? I’ve be looking around but no luck. Also do they upgrade the suspension and brakes to handle that kind of power upgrade?
