Default interesting engine spec fact

just thought i would let everyone know this, as i just found it out and i was very interested whey they did this.

"The displacement differs between 1990–1995 and 1996-2006 engines by 2 cubic inches. Both had a bore of 3.88 in (99 mm), while the stroke decreased slightly from 3.44 inches (87.38 mm) on the earlier engine to 3.41 inches (86.61 mm) on 1996 and later engines. The displacement of both engines still rounds to 4.0 litres (3999.83 cc v. 3964.95 cc)."

I am so totally going to do the crank swap along with neon injectors to totally get way more extra horsepowers!

I bet then I will be able to do 4HI locked front and rear burn outs!

Damn I just realized I can't do the crank swap, I already have the longer stroke. Guess I will just have to add a wing and racing stripes.
