Maybe he ment while on crack he put in a torquer v3.


I think he ment to say he picked up a cracked block with a v3 and wants to use it in a new stronger build.

Are your internals fine and not cracked? Uhhh...if they're fine, you want to beef them up anyway?

I say **** it and run the cracked block. Some Elmer's and you're good to go. It'll be a mod no one's done before.

















That was a joke. Newbs, please disregard.
