Nicholas Roedl Is the owner of a super clean 1981 DeLorean and has been making the old iconic car badass!  The original 2.8-liter PRV V6 has been replaced with 5.7 liters of American muscle. You might all know the advantages of the LS-series. It’s compact and extremely power-dense, perfect for what Roedl wants for his vintage whip.

 The LS1 was improved with Lingenfelter heads and cams, high-flow mufflers from Jegs. It was a tight fit as the intake had to be reversed and a self-fabricated throttle riser that Roedl created was used.
