There aren't really any original DeLorean parts in the engine bay besides the 
air filter housing and a couple other odds and ends. the price of the parts 
from the vendors is more or less the same price that the parts cost from a 
Volvo source or wherever you want to get your 'cheaper' stuff from. for the 
most part, these parts are harder to get locally than they are over the phone 
with Grady or DMCJoe or whoever you choose. a lot of the engine control 
stuff isn't as common as you'd think. Not only that but NOT all parts are 
created equal. the fuel distributer is quite unique to the DeLorean, and the 
pin in it makes a matched set. do not count on crossovers because sometimes 
they work, sometimes they definitely do not!
