Looking for pictures of Shiraz Cupala's engine swap - DMCTalk.com forums

Matthew · 06-03-2010, 07:28 PM

I have a feeling this may not turn up with much, but does anyone happen to have pictures of Shiraz Cupala's 3.0L engine swap? His swap was performed by John Lane and there were some interesting details (to me) in the way it was done.

This website previously had the pictures:

However it no longer exists there. The only picture I have is this one.

Thanks.

Have you tried any of the caching sites out there? Maybe one manage to archive it.

While none of the pictures are there, you can see see the full text of the site at....

There are some good descriptions of basic things.

I emailed Shiraz Cupala and here is the web site address he gave me with old pics.

He also told me his DeLorean is up for sale at DMC Northwest and Toby Peterson has also taken recent pictures of Shiraz’s DeLorean VIN 02860.

I can either ask Toby to send me the pics and I can post them here or you can call Toby at DMC Northwest.

Keep in mind though Toby is very busy since they recently finished moving to a new location in the same city in Bellevue, Washington.

You are so AWESOME!!!

THANKS!

I still cannot figure out what he did with that upper RH muffler bracket, though. I actually e-mailed Shiraz also about a week ago, but received no reply.

John Lane here......

I have also tried to reach Shiraz recently.

We lost touch in the last decade.

I saw his car at a repair shop in Bellevue(?) some time ago.

He has not returned my telephone calls.

Perhaps I can answer questions? To the best that I recall anyway!
