- FIIIIIIIIIIIIIINALLY.
Finally we get to spotlight a fellow engine-swapper
the way I had envisioned when I originally
started this project. It has been extremely difficult
to not only contact everyone but to have enough of our
build done that they realize we're serious and worthy
of participating. Nicholas was actually the first
engine swap I ever saw and it implanted the LS
Corvette engine into my brain. The rest, now, is
history. Ends up he's also a great guy, very open,
very supportive and a mechanical engineer to boot.
Enjoy!!

- Man I hope
this turns into a legit community/club of
engine-swappers that are actually nice to each other,
cheer for each other, help each other and are kind to
each other. I've been so put off by the
BTTF community as well as the die-hard Delorean
community. At least with the engine-swapping crowd we
all share the ambitious spirit to take on something
pretty gargantuan to achieve a goal. We all obviously
loved the look of the Delorean and were so
disappointed with the mechanics of it that we gutted
the bastard and started over. That's pretty niche
group of people willing to take that leap and
I think it allows us to bond a little easier.
That, and Nicholas is just really, really
nice.

- His swap and his
site, ls1delorean.com,
is positively exhaustive. I wasn't kidding in the
video when I mentioned it. Every single aspect is
covered with hundreds of pictures and I have to be
honest? I'm a little jealous of that intake manifold.
That is a sexy beast and if it wasn't for the fact
that we have the ability to use the vents on the back
of the time machine I would want to use the same
design. However the air intake pontoons on the side of
the Delorean pale in comparison to what can be sucked
through those vents. At the end of the day, horsepower
is king (as the present horsepower king is
aware).

- Incredibly
Nicholas is visiting LA in a couple weeks for work so
we'll get to actually meet. I'm just so happy he
decided to be the first interview video because
hopefully it will inspire others to do the same. He
clearly inspired us to swap our engines!
-
- Thanks again for
your time, Nicholas and see you at the end of the
month!
