I gots me a eldabrock naws kit!!

I love the 350 Corvette motor crap too.

You mean like that. Edelbrock is one of the best words to listen to people butcher!

Like was said before... any word that was made up in a Fast and Furious movie drives me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!

An engine is a motor. But a motor isn't necessarily an engine.

From Merriam-Webster online dictionary:

Engine:
4: a machine for converting any of various forms of energy into mechanical force and motion; also : a mechanism or object that serves as an energy source <black holes may be the engines for quasars>

Motor:
1: one that imparts motion; specifically : prime mover
2: any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion: as a: a small compact engine b: internal combustion engine; especially : a gasoline engine c: a rotating machine that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy
