[s-cars] 2.5 Liter 3B/AAN

[Mark Strangways]

Go outside NOW, bury you wallet right now.
Make sure it's someplace you will never find it.

This is the start of the slipperiest slope yet.

There are a number of 2.5 builds out there, some running, some running well. 
Some one even running.
It's a big job, and costs allot to do it right. And you want to do it right.

So, I will let others chime in to what they have done, and what works and 
what doesn't.
