    If your buying a crate engine, does it matter where it's coming from?? Just a thought...

    oh a new engine. is that like a big truck?
    my point being COULD YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC?

    I should point out that was light hearted, I read it and it sounded bad, sorry.
    That the automobile has practically reached the limit of its development is suggested by the fact that during the past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced.

    Stages are the worst terminology used in performance vehicles ever. I'd prefer it people said things like rocket covers and platnium chambers
