April 10, 201015 yr comment_315582 You could be right. I was just guessing Who's Al Franken? You were right, a Franken Engine is an engine assembled of parts from different engine types/makes. Al Franken is a comedian-turned-politician here in the states. One of our more controversial political figures.
