More power scotty!!!
This #20,000 beast of a Cummins is headed to port unknown...but with all the discussion about engines and trannies...

So here you go...(sorry about the lighting)...this looks to be a V-12...tranny? Hook her up outlaw-style...pop the clutch, and watch your skoolie fly!!!

Captain, I think we have lift-off...
