The Alpine turbo engine will exert more torque on the chassis than the 
design specs say it can handle, but strengthening the chassis is just a 
bit of welding. The engine mounts and bellhousing are identical to the 
A610 so the engine would drop strait in. The only remaining issue is the 
pipework for the exhaust and plumbing in an intercooler effectively. 
There is no DeLorean with one of these engines as yet, but as Dave and I 
have just acquired one of these engines, it's only a matter of time.
