Alpine w/Turbo

["Walter Coe" <Whalt@xxxx>]

On the subject of engine swaps / upgrades, here is an interesting Alpine
that is being auctioned on eBay as item # 1806232910


The relevance as applied to the DML is that they describe the engine as
being like the DeLorean and it is turbocharged. Isn't this the same kind of
engine that someone in the Northwest put in their DeLorean? It isn't too
far from where I am, so I'm tempted to go take a look at it and maybe
photograph the engine.
