If im gonna have to get a new engine which I am I mid as well see what my options are. Ne ideas or in put or even donations are gladly welcomed LoL. Thanks Family

    Anyone could do it.

    Everyone thought of doing it.

    Someone should have done it.

    Only Dub did.


    BTW, WTF is a 'neone'? I've seen it in other threads but couldn't figger that one out.

    T4B,

    neone = anyone... phonetically

    In case your interested... this is a list of acronyms (old school) I started years ago for a friend that list some typical RL situations and also mostly for internet chatting use or texting (phone) use:

    The purpose of this list is to provide you with explanations
    for many of those strange acronyms you see in internet chat rooms and message
    boards so you don't have to write a lot of "What does that mean?" messages.

    Yes, sorry to hear you're having problems. Does this mean that our Meet-n-greet is postponed UFN?

    DUH

    Thanks.

    BTW, IT DL meant Down Low (like keep the secret).

    Unlike the other TROLLS looking to increase their post-count ( ), I understood your post Lizard. I don't know that any one has gone with anything other than the stock block, except for someone way back when who was gonna stick an LS1 or something in there. Never did hear anything more on that. You could always gut down completely and refit with the Axiom guts. Could have the only direct injection VX in town.

    Sorry to hear about your VX.

    Yeah but typing neone for anyone or ne for any just does not make much sense in my opinion. All you are doing is leaving out one letter which takes a fraction of a second to type, seems like this is more typing to try to be cool Like a nerdy white guy trying to talk all gangster like Reminds me of the opening scene of Office Space where the guy is rapping along with some rap song and then a homeless guy walks up and he stops saying anything and locks his door, haha, classic! I prefer to type that extra letter, to take that 1/100th of a second out of my day and donate it to allowing everyone to be able to read and comprehend what I am talking about, ok well at least be able to read what I am talking about, I have nothing to do with others comprehension levels, lol.............. I mean not just ne1 can type so cool as others, I wish I was that techno savy, lol, rofl, hahahaha, J/K everybody don't get all PO'd.
