English term or phrase: Mill
Alguém me ajuda com o significado de "mill" neste contexto?

"He got [the truck] looking as good as new and then proceeded to drop in a 1300 hp, supercharged, 540 cubic-inch **mill** under the hood."

Agradeço desde já!

máquina
Explanation:
Sugestão para designar motor.

E, já agora, para "drop" sugiro "artilhou-o"...

O termo "artilhar" utiliza-se muito neste contexto para dar a ideia de "potenciar". É mais forte do que "kitar"!
