DeLorean’s came with a calm 2.8L V6 which is why it took so much distance for Marty to reach 88 mph. This DeLorean has no such problem thanks to the swapped turbocharged 2JZ. Currently the owner is still working out all the bugs but hopes soon to get it into the 11’s.

Although this is not an engine swap story I still wanted to put it up. The story talks about how the Fiero.com community helped a young man with terminal cancer fix his Fiero so he could drive it. This story is very heart warming and shows how great the car enthusiast community can be. Although we might prefer specific types of cars or trucks, we can all appreciate the enjoyment another person can have from working on and driving their favorite ride.
