    With the parking lot full of them, I bet this is the guy in Houston that has purchased all the NOS deloreans and parts and is re-selling them "as new" around here. I have driven by his shop, and he is even now the owner of the DMC emblem, and has it proudly displayed over his shop.

    I always thought they were equipped with Ford 351Ws...

    Nope, some aluminum v-6 Puegeot-Renault-Volvo engine.

    Mangustas had 302's

    and the Vallelunga's had the Kent 4cyl and if you've read the newest car craft you would see that ford is reviving the Kent engine block:)
