[Shotimes] 3.2 swap into a MTX

[John Weidenbenner]

We was able to get a very good condition 3.2 for a 95 SHO with 65k miles at
a very reasonable price. Our labor is free.

Very good condition 3.0 SHO engines are difficult, if not impossible to
find. Most have been beat to death. How many 3.2 engines have you heard of
that need rod bearings? That is properly maintained 3.2's.
