In a daring rescue mission, the MotorTrend Channel acquires the world's most pitiful DeLorean - a stolen, wrecked, and atrociously painted relic. Covered in spider webs and tales of a mischievous joyride, this sorry excuse for a car is missing its engine, replaced by a bizarre setup resembling a toilet. Undeterred by the challenges, the team sets out to swap the engine with an LS powerhouse for a much-needed boost in power.
Facing a ticking clock, the crew dives headfirst into the project, encountering hurdles in adapting the new engine to the vintage car. With time slipping away, they resort to fabricating custom engine mounts and wrestling with various components to make the LS engine fit like a glove. Despite the setbacks and mishaps along the way, the team manages to triumphantly install the engine, a budget build with a high-performance cam, thanks to the expertise of a friend.
As the engine roars to life, the DeLorean is finally ready to hit the road, albeit with a few hiccups. The team, led by the indomitable spirit of the MotorTrend Channel, takes the revamped DeLorean to a car event, where it stumbles and falters but provides a spectacle of entertainment for onlookers. Amidst rubber flying and doors opening mid-drive, the team's journey with the DeLorean is a rollercoaster of challenges, triumphs, and ultimately, a testament to the unyielding determination of automotive enthusiasts.
