I think with all the other myth and folklore about our cars, this is a
minor issue. Even if some people do take notice of this little bit of
information, it will not drastically change the general publics
knowledge in any major way.

If anything, they should put a disclaimer(s) that Delorean was not
smuggling drugs in the cars, that he is CURRENTLY still in jail,
etc....etc..etc....

That is definately a fact about the cars being used in the films that 
I was unaware of. Any idea as to why someone would go to all the 
trouble to do a complete engine swap, let alone one for a smaller 
engine for the movie shoots? Perhaps this could greatly shed some 
light as to why some people insist that the cars came with 4 cylinder 
engines.

Though if true, perhaps the wording used on the new DVD's should be 
modified to give a disclaimer to say that the original V6 was 
replaced.

-Moderators: I know that BTTF topics are normal discouraged on the 
list here. However, this does indeed appear to be a specific topic 
directly relating to our cars.
