SPECIAL Engine

Post by Tbone »

I know one of you pros will bag me out (FTO338, this is your chance... again), but why does my engine say SPECIAL on it? Didn't see that on any other FTO I looked at.
Lucky me! 8)

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

    I think at this point it is pretty safe to say that no-one has a clue! Or am I being a little hasty....

      I WISH!!! Mmmm, girlfriend... that guy is soooo fine! 8O


      Anyway, I guess there is no real ideas? Sheesh, I thought you guys knew your stuff. All I get around here is pick up lines (Supplanter and G_A_V) and threats (FTO338 - by the way, lawsuit is a comin' your way Mr. Killer-with-a-car-making-threats-crazy-man :x ).

      But seriously, seems weird to add it, it looks factory, the person I got it off didn't touch a thing on the car (except the damn wiring to the CD player and got it all stuffed up!!)
