A long last, I just want to finish before the world blows up.

you need at least a V12 with extra tanks at the back.

A high compression V8 is more than enough.

Interior done as of today:

One step closer, with any luck I'll be "done" (but not done Done) Q3-Q4 2024.

I never was around here much last year, but lifter ate the cam last February. Didn’t get the car back til almost July. Mainly because of the backlog at Bischoff finishing the block

Sweet! I’ve only ever seen a DeLorean once on the road. She looks mint and is a beauty.

Thanks! She's in great condition

How much did you have to replace / rebuild?

Cam, pushrods and lifters. The shop sent the intake manifold to MMX to get ported. The heads only needed resurfaced and valve checked. The block got stroked out to 411 and built for up to 30 pounds of boost

Your lifter failed and caused all of this?
Sounds like you had a lot of work done, this is a V6?

I had a rocker that broke about 2 years ago while entering the freeway. The lifter fell back in it's bore so I had the bare minimum amount of oil pressure to limp off the nearest exit. Had to replace the entire valvetrain as the original rockers were long discontinued.

Car $ vs. Statue $...

It was a 392. I went to my parents after work one day and the P0305 code went off backing out of their driveway

What tires are you running?

What tires are you running?

20x10- 305/35/20. The original 275’s were toast before the first 500 mile break in oil change. If I go any further, I’m gonna have to go on a drag pack

Brand?

I ask because I think I'm at the point where I'll pony up the $ to get Michelin PS4 tires sometime within the next 6-12 months. Going to put 18" wheels with 14" rotors on, plus the tires. Current setup works ok but it's now the weakest link compared to everything else.
