[T3] engine info

[Mike Fisher]

Matt has a 'new' 1600 FI/AT just about ready to put in my square.  I sucked
the #3 exhaust valve on my 1641!  Matt did a line bore/rings/bearings/valve
job with all the used parts we have here.  He also built me a 'new' AT with
all our parts.  He's just waiting on the powder coating on the tins and I'm
trying to be patient!
