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.
Nah He knew full well what everyone said that was impossible. But to most Engineers they see impossible aa a challenge to be overcome with GENIUS. The guy who shoe horned a V-8 Vett engine into a Delorean is a Genius.

Well I mean, they did put V8 noises over it in the BTTF movies, so its no wonder we all thought this was one of the baddest things on the street back then.
@@AE86FTS That's absolutely correct my friend!! Id like to think most of us car enthusiast know that or should at least. So......who said anything about DMC being a Mid Engine car??? 🤔...🤣
Happytime cyanide that would be a hard sleeper cause most people still think the car was originally fast because most everyone has seen back to the future a lot of people non car people still assume that it’s a fast car 😬
Honestly, because the car turns heads even in stock form, it would be more of a Q-ship than a sleeper. A sleeper is a car that doesn't look like anything but is actually fast, while a Q-ship is an unexpectedly fast car that's normally well-known for something else. An example would be a BMW M5 - the 5 series is known for being more of a luxury sedan built for comfort, but the M5 is an absolute monster.
"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.
That's because most cars are designed to rust. I read a comment from someone once that said his shop teacher told him this in high school. If they put something like 5% more nickel in the steel, it would not rust. Cars are designed to deteriorate so people will have no choice but to go out and buy replacement vehicles every few years.
Keep those CAD documents, Josh. And when you solve the trany and brake issues, well then, you've taken a really big step towards a 2nd career as a DeLorean engine swap kit manufacturer. It's all about experience. Good luck!
GM make sure 90% of the cars we put out are meh looking and are meh performing and have meh reliability. Christler makes sure it breaks after 10k miles. Ford, it looks ok is functions ok 50% of the time you might get a bad car. American auto manufacturers are really the bottom of the barrel compared to the foreign car companies I wish they would start making great looking reliable economy cars.
@@uuuultra It’s a 40 year old car with a very niche following, maybe 6000 surviving examples in existence, from a manufacturer that has long since gone out of business. You own one, you get used to inventing your own solutions when it breaks.
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.
I would've expected a car enthusiast to do this job, but the guy that did it is just all over the place. He doesn't know everything off the top of his head or the exact proportions like an enthusiast does. It's a kickass swap dont get me wrong, but the fact he stuck with a Peugeot transmission from 1982 made for a DMC V6 that could barely hit 80 to an engine that was used in one of America's most loved super cars and one of the best engines ever made for power. So I think the guy could've taken a better step by taking a corvette gearbox and mounting it right so it would work with the interior of the Delorean as the Vette trans would better hold up with the torque and pressure that comes with it, much rather go that route than stick with a weak trans that when just the right of pressure comes into play the spline will shear straight off and he would be stuck on the freeway.
@@moreuggaduggas Uh he made a CAD model of the car to do the swap and basically made everything... Not even sure if the Corvette transaxle fits - don't forget the Corvette was front engine, rear transaxle

@@destruxandexploze2552 still applies to newer cars to, swap a ls2 for ls7 or sumthin, take the LT-whatever it was engine in the C8 and plop a ls9 on it
DrewLSsix Lol. I have a 2006 Grand Caravan already. It's the long wheelbase model with roof rack and bug deflector. I sent it to RCR so hopefully he does an Ontario road trip or at least come to Detroit and I can cross the border or vise versa.
The Porsche 997 transverse transmission I believe it is has an ls mounting kit and would solve all your problems, and getting you an extra gear. They are also rated for up to 750hp
Hook that to a Supercharged Gen III 3.8l V-6 that has been balanced and blueprinted (excellent HP and Torque for a car that size) and it would run like a monster AND get good gas mileage.
Fuck it, build it a spaceframe chassis with more advanced suspension and RWD mid engine or front engine layout. Some guy made something similar with an old golf and a massive engine, why not do the same with a DeLorean?
gm could make one of the best rotary's to exist and could help solve the rotary problems backin the day and improve in its desing today, but because of the change of direction that not happened. americans can bolt 4 motors and make it work, a gm rotary would be a beast.
@@joaovitorsilvagohl682 I sometimes wonder where the rotary would have been like had it not been for the 70's oil crisis choking the life out of the automotive industry.
I have a Delorean DMC-12 and my engine just died on me. I am looking into doing the LS swap myself. Could anyone at RegularCars provide John's info so that I may talk to him about his experience? PS. Great video!
LS4 engine is such a clever choice - because it was designed for front wheel drive use it has design features that make the length of the engine, including all accessory pulleys, shorter than other LS engines. It fits quite well in the engine bay, actually takes up a lot less room than the PRV V6 engine. I'd remove the goofy Corvette engine cover from it though...
yeah the corvette covers did look a little goofy but look up a Tucker 48 I feel if he could get one of those transmissions it could hold the torque very well
yeah the corvette covers did look a little goofy but look up a Tucker 48 I feel if he could get one of those transmissions it could hold the torque very well
He said he moved the transmission forward, meaning, the halfshafts are now half-cocked. This is a bad build. An RX8 with a badazz turbo, and nitrous would fly, but possibly break the trans.
John Delorean didn't use the stuff. He was forced into it, because the real criminals threatened to harm his family if he backed on them after making a deal to receive money for his business, if John were to help these criminals sell their cocaine.
@Anton Zuykov Yes, it is level. I've seen this car in person, and I have a DeLorean myself with this exact same swap in it. It is even with the rear frame member, and has nearly the exact same clearance that the stock Volvo engine's oil pand did.
@Anton Zuykov Dude, how the fuck are you trying to teach me about MY OWN DAMNED CAR? You can not see it all you want in a video, but I can go out to my garage and look at my very own car!
@Anton Zuykov LOL. I'll give some weight to your "input" when you have real world experience with an LS DeLorean. Considering the pan sits nearly identically to the stock Volvo, if this were an actual issue, I'd have heard of plenty of them by now.
Favorite line of all time "not the LS, when the general motors LS V8 descended from Mt. Olive in 1997 with an aluminium DICK and a seditious sneer, the world did YEA and look up."
It's correct in every way. Since the DeLorean is basically just a fantasy vehicle that happens to actually exist in the real world it becomes one of the rare instances where altering it to make it live up to the fantasy as much as possible is far more important than keeping it original. One in pristine condition with low miles and all original parts is actually less correct than this one, in my opinion anyway.
But you know what's weirder, 7 years before the Delorean was made the Bricklin SV-1 was made and that was a gull wing door car and it was named after the owner of the company that made and both cars failed at the end.
build it a spaceframe chassis with better suspension and rwd, probably would be easier than fitting an LS into stock delorean... jk, but it would be cool to see
A BUICK V6 Turbo Gen II 3.8l) would have been a better choice. Both engines; the PRV and 231; weigh 375 lbs so the weight balance wouldn't have been changed as drastically as it will with the 600 lbs LS motor. BTW, the GM corp 3800 IS the BUICK 231 (3.8L) but just renamed for marketing purposes. A side note: The Rover V8 in all the Range Rover model is the BUICK 215 used in the 1960-63 BUICK, OLDS & PONTIAC'S in both turbo and non-turbo configurations that was sold to BLC in 1964. Like the Gen II 3800. it's gone thru multiple iterations but it's still a BUICK designed motor.
Lol what is there to do in that part of Canada, I've been there once and it just seemed like there was one main city and then nothing else and nothing to do
Justin there really is next to nothing to do outside the cities Saskatoon and Regina besides ride dirt bikes, have gravel pit parties, shoot things, and basically enjoy farmer life. We all dream of moving to BC, where it's expensive but be able to enjoy the mountains and ocean
This guy has a winning business opportunity he could start up. All of that time and effort put into the CAD designing and etc. could either be sold as an instructional book/DVD, or better yet he could start making conversion kits. I think there would be enough DeLorean owners out there that would love to do this type of engine swap.
The LS motor is very compact and it's light so it is a good choice for a DeLorean swap. But I think that much power, personally, is almost too much for a DeLorean. If I were doing a DeLorean swap I'd use a turbo four from a Golf GTI or something like that, I think it would suit the car better. But to each their own.
PJ and the Craxfords the most unique thing about the rx-7 is the rotary engine and people (rightly imo) get angry when they get swapped with any regular engine
This is what John DeLorean should have done right from the start! And of all places for this build, SASKATCHEWAN? I like it man, well done! Cheers from British Columbia 👍
There was a guy in my Univ of Cincinnati engineering class that did an LS swap into a DeLorean as his senior design project about 10 years ago. I wonder if the guy he's talking about in Ohio is the same guy? That was an awesome car!
This is amazing. A dad of one of my HS buddies had a delorean, but it had an electrical problem and the brake lights and turn signals didn’t work. Still started and ran though. My friend let me drive it on his private street and I was shocked by how under powered it was. Sluggish is an understatement. That’s part of the irony in Back to the Future of having to hit 88 mph in a Delorean in a parking lot.

I thought Mr. Regular was much older than he actually is. They are both totally different looking than I had pictured
Buys corvette
~ls swaps it~
Fok Necmi
Well if you have a corvette that doesn’t have an LS in it like an older model then yeah.
@@destruxandexploze2552 still applies to newer cars to, swap a ls2 for ls7 or sumthin, take the LT-whatever it was engine in the C8 and plop a ls9 on it
@@destruxandexploze2552 whooooooooosh
This is what happens when an engineer graduate appreciates motors and very unique cars! How cool! Smart dude, cool setup!
Thank you!
You deserve some major kudos for the beautiful absurdity of this engine swap. This is like making ice cream and pizza work!
schattej amazing car man
I should LS swap my Grand Caravan.
That too.
502 big block with a blower and run it on methanol
Vooore Lol. Make it rear wheel drive and make it a manual. I'd add wheelie bars too. Lol that would be great.
Go get one of the class is turbo caravans, they can move out with mods and it'll carry all of its own parts home!
DrewLSsix Lol. I have a 2006 Grand Caravan already. It's the long wheelbase model with roof rack and bug deflector. I sent it to RCR so hopefully he does an Ontario road trip or at least come to Detroit and I can cross the border or vise versa.
This thing kinda sounds like the back to the future car.
@CarnelJr Faulkner LS’s didn’t exist in the 80’s. They used sound effects to make it sound cool.
I Blew a Load... in my pants
B.O.V....!!
Guess what Buck!
You've been Tuuurbochaaarged!!
3:26 GOBS OF POWER!
You should do a review on only the LS Engines, the 2 minutes you just talked about the LS in this video are the best I have ever heard
Yay!
I'd love a series, a video for every LS starting with the LS1 and ending with the pickup truck LS based engines.
There's a good rundown on /DRIVE about them, called "Why is the LS so Good?"
And in the fifth day God said “let there be LS”
*and it was good*
Tesla should have said "screw cybertruck, we're gonna make an electric DeLorean." I'd buy it.
I’m waiting on the first LS-swapped Tesla to show up.
I feel like an idiot not knowing that the DeLorean had the engine in the rear prior to watching this video.
You should
What do you think Doc was doing at the back of the car?
Why would Mr Fusion be in the back if the engine is in the front?
calibrating the flux compensator manifold?
technically its the middle, originally
Yes! This is the Saskatchewan Delorean! He's from the city I lived in, we've seen him driving through the city a few times. Super cool.
@@en6928 Stoon maybe?
IF IT AIN'T LS THEN IT IS BS
It's said when an LS doesn't fit, that a K series is legit 😂
The Porsche 997 transverse transmission I believe it is has an ls mounting kit and would solve all your problems, and getting you an extra gear. They are also rated for up to 750hp
Hook that to a Supercharged Gen III 3.8l V-6 that has been balanced and blueprinted (excellent HP and Torque for a car that size) and it would run like a monster AND get good gas mileage.
Fuck it, build it a spaceframe chassis with more advanced suspension and RWD mid engine or front engine layout. Some guy made something similar with an old golf and a massive engine, why not do the same with a DeLorean?
I'm sure he's thought of that...the kid is smart
Mated to a VW w8 engine and you would have room for some forced induction also.
rekleif there is a VR6 swapped Delorean or two running around.
When I had mine I wanted to do a TDI swap
i love how the car hunkers down at the back when you get on the gas. true musclecar
was that the Bobby Roode NXT theme?
Yes it was, because every new RegularCarReview is GLORIOUS!
I was thinking the same lmao
GLORIOUS
LS solves all problems. Damn right it does!
except for the RX-7
LS the world Dr Evil says ummm haaaaaaa ahhhhh ooo the world I say .GM drive the best RIP the rest.what the father of the GTO WOULD LOVE IT
Unless that problem is gas mileage
gm could make one of the best rotary's to exist and could help solve the rotary problems backin the day and improve in its desing today, but because of the change of direction that not happened. americans can bolt 4 motors and make it work, a gm rotary would be a beast.
@@joaovitorsilvagohl682 I sometimes wonder where the rotary would have been like had it not been for the 70's oil crisis choking the life out of the automotive industry.
I have a Delorean DMC-12 and my engine just died on me. I am looking into doing the LS swap myself. Could anyone at RegularCars provide John's info so that I may talk to him about his experience? PS. Great video!
Did you find him?
Contact Josh Schattenkirk via the DeLorean groups on Facebook. He's easy to find.
I saw this very car back in 1957.
Nice
@@uuuultra Marty almost did.
Really i saw it in 1955
Pfft. I saw this jawn back in 2015
Saw that thing roll on the railway back in 1885
Are you a wrestling fan? That intro sounded kinda... "glorious"
Jayson Sykes the guy who makes them, Roman, is a wrestling fan.
You've convinced me. When I win the lottery and I'm buying a DeLorean, I need the LS swap.
LS4 engine is such a clever choice - because it was designed for front wheel drive use it has design features that make the length of the engine, including all accessory pulleys, shorter than other LS engines. It fits quite well in the engine bay, actually takes up a lot less room than the PRV V6 engine. I'd remove the goofy Corvette engine cover from it though...
The downside is it uses that gearbox and adapter, eugh! It would be entertaining if the gearbox was an AUDI or Mitsubishi 2g F4a33
yeah the corvette covers did look a little goofy but look up a Tucker 48 I feel if he could get one of those transmissions it could hold the torque very well
yeah the corvette covers did look a little goofy but look up a Tucker 48 I feel if he could get one of those transmissions it could hold the torque very well
He said he moved the transmission forward, meaning, the halfshafts are now half-cocked.
This is a bad build.
An RX8 with a badazz turbo, and nitrous would fly, but possibly break the trans.
TIMEtoRIDE900 Again, with a different adapter and tranny, this thing would be doing more like 188... into November 12th,1955
Guy in the red shirt somehow managed to look cool posing with a Honda Fit.
Just 2JZ swap the damn DeLorean and here you got the ULTIMATE tuning capabilities
You've completed the holy trinity.
god fking bless America that is cool
Deloreans were made in Ireland, with investment from American cocaine addicts.
And this pericular car is owned by a Canadian.
John Delorean didn't use the stuff. He was forced into it, because the real criminals threatened to harm his family if he backed on them after making a deal to receive money for his business, if John were to help these criminals sell their cocaine.
+okleydokley You act like patriotism in a globalized economy is a bad thing.
+okleydokley + go read up on Preston Tucker and you will have an idea of what actually happened to John DeLorean
That's a cool engine swap but I would be worried about the oil pan being exposed so low to the ground.
It's a visual deception. It's perfectly level with the rear cross member, exactly like the stock PRV's oil pan.
Your not thinking about the 4th demention
@Anton Zuykov Yes, it is level. I've seen this car in person, and I have a DeLorean myself with this exact same swap in it. It is even with the rear frame member, and has nearly the exact same clearance that the stock Volvo engine's oil pand did.
@Anton Zuykov Dude, how the fuck are you trying to teach me about MY OWN DAMNED CAR? You can not see it all you want in a video, but I can go out to my garage and look at my very own car!
@Anton Zuykov LOL. I'll give some weight to your "input" when you have real world experience with an LS DeLorean. Considering the pan sits nearly identically to the stock Volvo, if this were an actual issue, I'd have heard of plenty of them by now.
Favorite line of all time "not the LS, when the general motors LS V8 descended from Mt. Olive in 1997 with an aluminium DICK and a seditious sneer, the world did YEA and look up."
*Sid Vicious sneer

Red truck at the end is like " aw, guess I'm going back in the slow lane now :'( "
just remember theres a guy out there that 13b swapped a 70's chevy nova
Why would I want to remember that? I'd like to forget.
And it's amazing.
+Chase Watkins
An abomination.
+💀Mr. Ixolite💀 and i guy that swap a viper engine to a supra
And the guy who swapped a Ferrari 458 engine into a Toyota gt86
Needs a 13B for that true FUTURE experience.
yes !
brap brap brap brap
I couldn't believe this comment wasn't down voted into oblivion until I realized so few people know you're talking about a rotary. Thumbs up to you.
+Khoelle Basnight 13b? Psh, try 20b. That way it's even more of a nightmare to fix it once the apex seals blow out.
***** I can safely say that you know more about video games than rotary engines.
wait what about a rotary swapped DeLorean
it would do that braaaaappp...stutututu
they need a tesla powered delorean
Great Scott!
I'm going 1.21 gigglewatts right about now.
they already do
He took a crappy engine out, why put a blender motor back in it
Pix or it didn't happen.
And it's even correct in a weird way, John Z DeLorean was a bigwig at GM!
It's correct in every way. Since the DeLorean is basically just a fantasy vehicle that happens to actually exist in the real world it becomes one of the rare instances where altering it to make it live up to the fantasy as much as possible is far more important than keeping it original. One in pristine condition with low miles and all original parts is actually less correct than this one, in my opinion anyway.
Yup. That's true.
John DeLorean: Known as father of the Pontiac GTO.
But you know what's weirder, 7 years before the Delorean was made the Bricklin SV-1 was made and that was a gull wing door car and it was named after the owner of the company that made and both cars failed at the end.
AV heart conduction disorder that requires an artificial pacemaker?
*LS SWAP*
"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit"
i'd love to see a V12 from an Aston Martin Vantage, put into a DMC DeLorean
Literally impossible without ruining the body, but would love it regardless.
I would like to see a Cosworth DFV swapped DeLorean. That would be mint.
A Jaguar V8 4.2 - 5.0 would be a better choice. Lighter and it still pack a serious punch.
Well duh, an Aston V12 in ANYTHING would be killer. All it takes is mauney.
""Semen covered glasses"?
I can't wait to put an LS in my engineless delorean
Do a video of it!!
I found one of those in a local pawn shop type thing with a few cars and stuff
build it a spaceframe chassis with better suspension and rwd, probably would be easier than fitting an LS into stock delorean... jk, but it would be cool to see
Why not try to Tesla swap it?
A BUICK V6 Turbo Gen II 3.8l) would have been a better choice. Both engines; the PRV and 231; weigh 375 lbs so the weight balance wouldn't have been changed as drastically as it will with the 600 lbs LS motor. BTW, the GM corp 3800 IS the BUICK 231 (3.8L) but just renamed for marketing purposes. A side note: The Rover V8 in all the Range Rover model is the BUICK 215 used in the 1960-63 BUICK, OLDS & PONTIAC'S in both turbo and non-turbo configurations that was sold to BLC in 1964. Like the Gen II 3800. it's gone thru multiple iterations but it's still a BUICK designed motor.
I just realize that dude has a T-Shirt with a Ford Aerostar and it say "Aerodynamic" NICE
Alright they did, I can!
2 weeks later
MY DELOREAN SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS A F***ING V12!!
A fellow Saskatchewanee! Right on man
another one
+Owen Major no, you're thinking of the southern part of the USA
and proud of it!
EH
Lol what is there to do in that part of Canada, I've been there once and it just seemed like there was one main city and then nothing else and nothing to do
Justin there really is next to nothing to do outside the cities Saskatoon and Regina besides ride dirt bikes, have gravel pit parties, shoot things, and basically enjoy farmer life. We all dream of moving to BC, where it's expensive but be able to enjoy the mountains and ocean
John would have been proud. God rest his soul.
Look at that GOD FEARING MAN across the street in awe of the glorious ls in a divine delorean
This guy's vocal fry is driving me insane!
if this baby hits 88 mph you will see some serious shit
Wonder if anyone's tried putting a Porsche 911 drive train in a DeLorean
Don't Know. But I have heard of 350s in them
A Porsche 6-speed transmission was put behind a Mazda 20B 3-Rotor engine in another Delorean...
He ended up putting a Porsche G series trans into this exact DeLorean.
This guy has a winning business opportunity he could start up. All of that time and effort put into the CAD designing and etc. could either be sold as an instructional book/DVD, or better yet he could start making conversion kits. I think there would be enough DeLorean owners out there that would love to do this type of engine swap.
how often do you watch a RUclips video with a big smile on your face throughout?
The solution: build a DeLorean from the ground up with all the improvements: engine, transmission, etc. 😎
Man, how could you ls swap and use a glass transmission?!
The LS motor is very compact and it's light so it is a good choice for a DeLorean swap. But I think that much power, personally, is almost too much for a DeLorean. If I were doing a DeLorean swap I'd use a turbo four from a Golf GTI or something like that, I think it would suit the car better. But to each their own.
freedom ain't free, no replacement for displacement
Remember in the movie how it sounded like a V8 with a jet engine whine... I think this fits.
It still needs a whiny supercharger.
Flame Beats Don't forget the life insurance policy.
I'd say you'd not really want more than 300 horsepower in a car with as drastic a rear weight bias as a DeLorean. It's no Porsche 911.
Can we get a part II update?
that would be cool! Car still has the same engine, but with a LSA supercharger. Lots of miles put on since this video.
to complete the set you need to try electric delorean
This guy knows what he was told about his car, nothing more.
LS-SWAP EVERYTHING!
> RX-7 LS swaps
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MAKE IT STOP AGAIN!
Notorious Booben What?
PJ and the Craxfords the most unique thing about the rx-7 is the rotary engine and people (rightly imo) get angry when they get swapped with any regular engine
PJ and the Craxfords have to be a fan of the channel to understand lol
Yeah...I’ve definitely become a rx7 ls hater. I used to like that.
Bob Boobenski I agree to a degree. These are kind of a GM products. An LS motor in a foreign car is just stupid.
I hope to hear more from Josh's DeLorean and what his gearbox solution will be.
This is what John DeLorean should have done right from the start! And of all places for this build, SASKATCHEWAN? I like it man, well done! Cheers from British Columbia 👍
Now everytime Doc went to 2nd gear, he time travelled by accident.
yay Saskatchewan! Easy to draw, hard to say!
There was a guy in my Univ of Cincinnati engineering class that did an LS swap into a DeLorean as his senior design project about 10 years ago. I wonder if the guy he's talking about in Ohio is the same guy? That was an awesome car!
Yes! Nick is the master!
This is amazing. A dad of one of my HS buddies had a delorean, but it had an electrical problem and the brake lights and turn signals didn’t work. Still started and ran though. My friend let me drive it on his private street and I was shocked by how under powered it was. Sluggish is an understatement. That’s part of the irony in Back to the Future of having to hit 88 mph in a Delorean in a parking lot.
