Default Uh oh, I'm in big trouble
I found a 3900 at a local junkyard for $275. It has 100k miles on it, but I think I can deal with that. 240hp 240tq, the same 3900 that Gunner just bought. Only $275 bucks?! OMG!
I'll have to build another MS to run it, and I don't have a car to put it in! But I really, REALLY want it.

Step away from the engine... then find something to put it in, and hit it like no tomorrow
