What Modifications Have Been Made to the Seahawks DeLorean?

Updated

The Seahawks DeLorean has been modified in two main areas: the engine and the engine compartment. According to in2time.com, the engine has been built to a "Stage 2" specification that includes a high-lift cam, custom headers, and several other modifications. Separately, the custom external changes to the engine compartment were designed by Gary. The site presents these changes as part of the car's build and identity rather than as a standalone spec sheet, so the details below reflect what the site actually states.

Engine Modifications

The site describes the engine as "highly modified" and identifies the following:

  • "Stage 2" build — the overall specification level the engine has been taken to.
  • High-lift cam — a camshaft profile that increases valve lift.
  • Custom headers — a non-stock exhaust manifold setup.
  • Several other mods — the site notes additional changes without listing them individually.

The site does not publish horsepower figures, dyno results, part numbers, or the specific brands behind the cam and headers, so those details can't be confirmed from this source.

Engine Compartment Changes

Beyond the engine itself, the site states that the custom external changes to the engine compartment were designed by Gary. This is presented as a distinct modification from the engine internals — a cosmetic or structural treatment of the compartment rather than a performance change. The site does not describe what those changes look like or what materials were used.

Why the Site Frames It This Way

The modifications are presented as part of the car's identity, not as a build log. The same page covers the car's history (built and purchased in 1981, later bought by current owners Taryn and Gary Hull, registered with the plate "IN2TIME"), the separate custom DeLorean trailer, and a gallery of events. The engine and compartment details sit alongside that narrative, which means:

  • You get the headline changes and who designed them.
  • You don't get a parts list, tuning specs, or before/after performance data.

What This Means If You're Researching the Car

If you want to know what kind of build it is, the site answers that: a Stage 2 engine with a high-lift cam and custom headers, plus a Gary-designed engine compartment treatment.

If you want reproducible specs — cam duration, header dimensions, power output — this source doesn't provide them. For that level of detail you'd need build documentation the site doesn't publish.

The trailer is a separate build: it uses original DeLorean parts sourced by club founding members and mounted on a trailer frame, and it later became known as the Seahawks DeLorean Trailer.
