- 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
Kind of like Elon Musk landing rocket booster after takeoff.
That's what happens when you live in a province with not much going on
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.
🤣🤣
IF ITS SLOW LS SWAP 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!
It all started here... Thanks Tristan!
That is fucking awesome. Might put that one on my bucket list.
@@nubreed13keep it on the back burner my friend make your dreams come true
"It doesn't work that way" lol
There's always... *THAT GUY* ( trademark)
A solid engine on a stainless steel car seems like how a car should be built
The trabant is a solid example :)
Ahhh, I do like the idea.
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.
The car is not stainless
Just the outer body panels are
That's because China makes some weak ass steel..
GM: Let's make a Mid Engine Corvette before anyone get any wild ideas before-
Delorean: Hold my cocaine.
Cocaine brought this wonderful car to the masses
The Delorean is rear-engine, not mid-engine.
@@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??? 🤔...🤣
@@IAMEYI Oh, I misunderstood the original comment.
@@AE86FTS No no Initial Wii I was being silly with you bro bro, you legit were right I didn't mean to come off like an ass 👍👍👍
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.
Jake y
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.
Hi jake, like your channel
+Destructor199 Yeah, when this one actually made the noises itself I jizzed a little!
Oh shi it that gnome dude
"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.
LS swapping is lame. you are lame. LS sux
@@schattej Says a guy who does not drive a delorean.
This is my car you idiot.
@@GunFunZS lololol owned
@@schattej sarcasm not detected.
I just bought a new bicycle. Need information on how to LS swap a Mountainbike ASAP
Wasn't there an LS motorbike?
Turbo with nitrous as well iirc
@Danny Hemphill an ls not a pussy motor
Ask old topgear crew... they ls swaped a blender
Dude you will get so much pussy on that bike
Weight distribution is going to be a bitch
"...so I just figured it would be easier to make my own."
That's the mark of a genius.
Many an adventure was started with the words “…..well fuck it, I’ll just make/build my own.”
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious shit
That'll be about the speed when the Gearbox explodes in to a million pieces
+Peter Grofik (peterpower049) gearbox explode = flames = time travel. Duh.
good point
ugh
+Peter Grofik (peterpower049) You mean Flux-Capacitor.
you could basically consider this delorean a sleeper.
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 😬
it's a sleeper against car guys unless they know how the delorean sounds
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.
Happytime cyanide 100th like
Until the transmission disintegrates
That gear box is meant for 12 hp. The pin on the grenade has been pulled. Wait, boom!
It's french engineering don't worry
LOL. Not really.
All the LS swap haters are in a tough spot here. Everyone can agree that Puegot motor was a hunk of junk.
Ryan Paaz No the Peugeot motor was reliable . It just wasn’t meant to be a performance engine, so it couldn’t be powered up. Same problem with the transmission.
It was poop
@@mikereseigh one guy put a buick regal gnx v6 in his. pretty scary as it is he said
@@robertmeehan3072 I can see that being a good fit.
@@Joesolo13 it is on youtube somewhere. lol I just commented on what I remember him saying about it.
"I am an engineer by trade" is redundant. He owns a Delorean.
lol
XD
I don't get it
@@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.
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!
Hell just need to sell the cad drawings for this. Then you can have them built at any cnc shop
Apparently it's his full career now
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.
Thanks ben
How is it going?
@@joshschattenkirkhow do I contact you to purchase a kit.

Llama Vlogs Best comment ever
Kevin Diaz 😂😂😂😂
imagine if they used a ls swapped on for the movies instead especially in the one with the dune buggy suspension for the wild west scene
@@dr.dylansgame5583 I hope that someone will make a time machine replica with an engine swap. I think that would be the pinnacle of time machine replicas. Also, I do know what you mean with the Part 3 Delorean and how beefy it sounds. That thing sounds really good.
Kevin Diaz
The Delorean in the movies was made to sound like a V8 anyway.
Generally I'm not much of a fan of engine swapping classic and historic cars but I make an exception for this car.
This car is far from historical. And only a classic to some.
@@SpaceGhost999 Stop denying that this car is a classic
Sasquatch Models If not now, which I disagree with, it definitely will be someday.
@@SpaceGhost999 we're getting close to 40 years tho
@@SpaceGhost999 sorry man, this car IS historical and a classic. Name me one other stainless bodied american rear engine car built by a wholly independent car company....

The way God intended.
Y'all drove more Deloreans then I'll ever even see in my life
Already seen two and I don't even live in US
I’ve seen 4. Universal, 2 in Florida as well, and another at a theatre on October 21st 2015 for a rerun of BTTF 2

General Motors. This is this kid's resume. Hire him. He will make your cars great again.
Until they force him to create things that have built in obsolescence and plastic -everything-. It is GM we're talking about...
T they force him to make korean shitboxes
AND PLEASE GM, LET HIM DRIVE THE PACE CAR AT INDY CAR RACES SO WE DONT SEE MORE CRASHED VETTES
LS ALL THE THINGS!
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.
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.
Cool idea
Custom 3D print the Corvette style covers, but make it say "Flux Capacitor".
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
@@leotam3372 He is a smart one, can never say that. He doesn't sound confident in what he says and doesn't even state the specs correctly as a car guy would. He just doesn't seem the kind.
Im wondering if Josh swapped out that transmission by this time
"Started with the original transmission, Moved to a reversed subaru splitcase 6spd, finally stabbing in a porsche G96 this winter." (his post earlier today led me back to this video)
I need that Ford Aerostar t-shirt, haha.
Yay, LGR on RCR! Mr Regular drives... the Woodgrain 486?
Ayy, cool to see you here
Greetings, Clint!
We now need a review on your car LGR.
Hiya Clint! Aerostar T-shirts For everyone!
I just saw the video about the backstory of RCR and man....I find these guys so much more cooler than I already thought they were
Enlighten me and post the link plz?
i saw that too on Gears and gasoline pretty awsome
isn't it funny how they both look just like how you pictured? I kind of saw their faces in the ovf videos but this made it clear and was a great video
The "Getting To Know Regular Car Reviews " one?
I thought Mr. Regular was much older than he actually is. They are both totally different looking than I had pictured
i love how the car hunkers down at the back when you get on the gas. true musclecar
Look at that GOD FEARING MAN across the street in awe of the glorious ls in a divine delorean
hm... i suppose this one has no problem reaching 88 mph
Maybe that was the issue with 5th gear pulls...
So funny he he B-)
"whatever you do, dont go over 88 !"
oh my...
wobbly sauce but then you just go back in time ^^
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
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.
Just 2JZ swap the damn DeLorean and here you got the ULTIMATE tuning capabilities
The LS swap does feel appropriate given John Delorean's history with GM
Welp... I'm happy
Do It With Dan the hell are you doing here,also why not that many likes internet ...love your shit man
Do It With Dan Go overreact at a bus for views.
PJ and the Craxfords that's actually snow cat ma dude
Do It With Dan Fancy meeting you here
Same Dan same
You've convinced me. When I win the lottery and I'm buying a DeLorean, I need the LS swap.
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 I ever owned a Back to the Future Delorean, I would want an LS in it, I'm not sure what engine they used for the sound clips in the movie, but it sure as hell wasn't the stock motor
The sound used was from a Porsche 928 V8.
MikeGuy993 Theirs ran off a flux compactor
I just want one that uses Mr Fusion so any garbage can will do!
Adam Katt The Mr. Fusion powers the time circuits, but the engine runs on petroleum fuel, always has, always will!
MikeGuy993 it’s called editing
Hellcat DeLorean.
Make it happen.
Vladpryde Why stop at Hellcat? Go Demon B-E-Y-O-N-D ! ! !
Vladpryde it wouldn't be as good as this one, the hellcat engine weights way more than an LS.
Custom spaceframe chassis pushrod suspension mid engine RWD DeLorean.

This thing kinda sounds like the back to the future car.
Yeah because i think the back to tge future delorean was ls swapped
@@CJ-xx5ms LS’s didn’t exist in the 80’s. They used sound effects to make it sound cool.

WAS THAT FUCKING BOBBY ROODE'S THEME IN THE INTRO???
10/10
GLORIOUS
And it's GLORIOUS!!!
GLORIOUS
i was hoping i wasn't the only one who noticed hahaha
and a sid vicious reference
Is that Matt farah's million mile delorean?
This is not Matt Farah's Million Mile Delorean. This is a different one.
+Reymond St. James
It's actually Fatt Marah's Billion Mile condom platter
Is that Matt Farah's million mile meme?
Get in the sea please.
Matt Farah had a LOW-MILE DeLorean, get it right.
6:53 Fella across the road in the background just Hangin' Tough. Word.
That intro was absolutely GLORIOUS
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
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*
An engineer that ACTUALLY put effort into making this as practical as possible. Made CAD models that can be replicated to fit a car with a simple engine that produces power in the same manner as it was built. This guy makes custom work WAY easier for other enthusiasts.
That's a really clean swap! When it starts up, it does sound like the B2TF moment when Doc fired it up...👍
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
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
wife left u ? LS SWAP
It'll never leave you and it's probably cheaper to maintain.
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.
Guy in the red shirt somehow managed to look cool posing with a Honda Fit.
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.
I was toying with the idea of a Twin Turbo, LS swap, Drag DeLorean, and ran across this video. Good to know some of the stuff he was talking about was some of the stuff I was thinking about! Awsome vid, and Info!
as a saskatchewanian, i applaud your pronunciation of my province, mr. regular!
oh no, he said semen, youtube gonna demonetize the hell out of Mr. Regular today.
Only if it's in the tags, title or description. H3H3 figured it out.
It's a big more than that, but tags/title/description are part of it.
Or we could pretent he just said Sea-man, as the sega dreamcast weirdo pet game.
actually idubbbz originally posted it on twitter h3 probably got it from him
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.
Regular cars, you built a Corvette out of a DeLorean?
This is heavy.
"If I'm gonna LS swap something, I may as well do it in style"
@ALSO-RAN !wouldn't ls swapping a mazda rx 7 just make it a mazda x 7 since rx 7 means rotary experimental 7
This guy knows what he was told about his car, nothing more.
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.
You've completed the holy trinity.
I love the commentary. Great work, a joy to watch.
I'll hazard a guess that as soon as you top 350HP that gearbox will detonate, but man is that a cool engine swap. It probably even manages to maintain similar fuel economy while delivering way more power and, most importantly, way more torque. Makes it a far more viable daily driver when you aren't forced to constantly worry over the health of your weird little mostly French engine. I'm not usually a huge fan of LS swapping everything, but the amount of effort this guy put into doing it RIGHT redeems all of my misgivings about it. That swap is clean AF and turns it from a weekend car or something to trailer to a car show into a legitimately usable daily driver. Brilliant work.
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
John would have been proud. God rest his soul.
This is one cool build, congrats to this young man.
Hell yes...so happy someone did this...now I want one again.
I just realize that dude has a T-Shirt with a Ford Aerostar and it say "Aerodynamic" NICE
FUCK CZcams DEMONETIZATION I WILL PAY YOU YOU GORGEOUS MAN
They have been demonetizing since the new terms changed
Only soon have they made it more visible
THE PROBLEM IS
that 1 they just mass spam it then once you appeal after a day or two ( peak views... Will become apparent later why it's important ) they will REmonetize them
YET they will STILL run ads on THE DEMONETIZED videos! So THEN only CZcams! Will get the money because you don't get the ad revenue when WHEN its demonetized!
Do you have evidence to support these claims?
BrokenSet there are many videos showing the only recent "showing" of the de-monetization
You could have dug into your CZcams analytics and saw but who the fuck does that, the demonized videos playing ads I need to find another video since it was recently remonetized so it no longer counts but I don't know how well you trust this CZcamsr (devil dog gamer) I wish he recorded it but on one of his videos ( which I watched when it was demonetized so I believe him ) did a test and I believe it was 29/50 times he went onto the video it played an add while demonetized
If I had a demonetized video id do it myself but sadly I don't nor do I know anyone personally who does have one so I can't technically prove it at the moment because people keep appealing their videos. But if you pay attention to your youtubers that you watch but then complain about it getting demonetized if you have a semi good memory you can usually remember if you saw a add on said video(s) but I've had over 20+ videos I've watched at various times that they've been "demonetized" ( ranging from a few hours to 20+ after posted and the appeal process takes usually 24-48 hours ) and them had that same CZcamsr complain about that said video getting demonetized
Demonetization means I don't feel guilty using an ad blocker and if I really like someone? i'll do their patron. CZcams sucks now and I hope the service implodes from it's own greed.
Freaking awesome! Perfect combo of geek and gearhead! This rocks!
Such a clean build. Looks like it was always ment to be. Good work.
*Bobby Roode nod, walks away*
Needs a 13B for that true FUTURE experience.

Well if you have a corvette that doesn’t have an LS in it like an older model then yeah.

This is badass!! I am thoroughly impressed! Good job man..
Brought that closer to what Delorean in envisioned from the beginning.
Waiting for an LS swapped Prius lol
i reported your comment for drug reference
Probably been done
Ive been waiting for a firebreathing 10 second prius since they came out
More likely a Prius swapped DeLorean.
Take a Prius and rip out the back seats then throw in a giant supercharged V8.
That is something to drool over. Man some people are just so freaking lucky to have something that fun.
I love that they kept it a stick shift instead of putting in a 4t60e or some other junk.
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.
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.
Now everytime Doc went to 2nd gear, he time travelled by accident.
Never would’ve thought something like this would’ve come out of my home province
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
was that the Bobby Roode NXT theme?
Yes it was, because every new RegularCarReview is GLORIOUS!
I was thinking the same lmao

V8!! V8!!
Holy shit! I knew I recognized the area. This was up near cabelas lol I drove thru there every day this past summer
"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit"
Thank you for finding this car and showing it to us .I needed to know this existed in the wild.This is my Harambe.
Great video! If I ever get a Delorean(Lol) I'll look this guy up. He is a great guy to share his CAD designs.
He did a great job on that swap. Outstanding
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.

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
