This is a DMC DeLorean with a General Motors LS4 V8. Yes, an LS swap DeLorean is possible and here is a real one! It's fast. Too fast for it's own good.

  • "That's impossible!" Everybody said, then came a guy, who didn't know that, and just did it

    9:20 And 6 years later Josh now offers a LS swap kit for sale and works full time swapping DeLorean's and inventing/selling upgrades parts the vehicle, from brakes to dashboards. From a hobby to a dream job!
  • A solid engine on a stainless steel car seems like how a car should be built
  • @erraldstyler
    I just bought a new bicycle. Need information on how to LS swap a Mountainbike ASAP
  • @TheGardenSnake
    Smart dude. As a kid I assumed those cars are fast too. I was disappointed when I found out how slow they were later. LS fixes everything.
  • @opethmike
    "I haven't found anyone serious enough" Well, I was serious enough, and with Josh's endless help, my DeLorean is now also LS-swapped. Best thing I've ever done with the car.

    "...so I just figured it would be easier to make my own." That's the mark of a genius.

    GM: Let's make a Mid Engine Corvette before anyone get any wild ideas before- Delorean: Hold my cocaine.
  • @Joyboy13257
    When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious shit
  • @danr1920
    That gear box is meant for 12 hp. The pin on the grenade has been pulled. Wait, boom!
  • @ryanpaaz
    All the LS swap haters are in a tough spot here. Everyone can agree that Puegot motor was a hunk of junk.
  • @randomuser1687
    Generally I'm not much of a fan of engine swapping classic and historic cars but I make an exception for this car.
  • @hoilst
    "I am an engineer by trade" is redundant. He owns a Delorean.
  • this kid has become a legend, within the car community for this beautiful adaptation we have always wanted... the car Gods are happy.
  • @benvin10365
    I received my LS4 swap kit from Josh Schattenkirk today. It's going into my 1982 DeLorean, VIN 10365. Thank you Mr. Regular for interviewing Josh and making this video. It inspired me to make the leap and get my project going. I have probably watched this video a dozen times or more.
  • @BenKuyt64
    General Motors. This is this kid's resume. Hire him. He will make your cars great again.
  • @piercehawke8021
    My biggest nit, believe it or not, are the 'Corvette' valve covers; what would reall mess with some minds would be if the builder made up some 'DMC V8' ones, brushed aluminum, of course. :) Regardless; that's one very well executed conversion; especially dealing with the parameters here.
  • "And you can just see that it [the exhaust] starts here and ends there... with a little bit of glass pack" Yes. The way God intended.
