Sorry, it was a bit obtuse. I hope I didn't sound like I was making fun of this car. It has a great retro look.

Maybe this will help: "On November 5, 1955, Emmett Brown came up with the idea of the flux capacitor after slipping and bumping his head while standing on his toilet to hang a clock. The idea came to him in a vision he had after being knocked out. He drew an inverted y-shape with wires and stated "flux compression". He also performed some mild calculations on the paper.
In order to travel through time, the vehicle integrated with the flux capacitor needed to be traveling at 88 mph (140.8 km/h), and required 1.21 gigawatts of power (1,210,000,000 watts), originally supplied by a plutonium-powered nuclear reactor. However, for the time machine's return trip (from 1955 back to 1985), plutonium was not available, so a lightning rod was connected directly into the flux capacitor and was used while the vehicle sustained 88 mph. Plutonium was used once again for a trip forward in time at least 30 years, and at some point thereafter the plutonium reactor was replaced by a "Mr. Fusion" home energy generator from the future that was fueled by extracting hydrogen atoms from garbage."
A Shalako would make a cool time travel machine:)

I love that exhaust though, I have been told, that it is a real power killer.
One other thing - make sure that the pipes will clear the body...it can be an issue with a Shalako tail.
Before I went with the side exit exhaust my dual canons just fit:
