installing a cam, heads, or intake is one thing but do it yourself engine building is another thing. leave that to the engine builders or if you have faith in your own abilities. its not as easy as taking part A and replacing it with part B

I thought about doing such a thing, and I talked with lots of engine builders about it as well (as they'd be helping). Turns out that to do it right, its ALL about the tools and the thousanth of an inch. The total cost for all the tools was going to run me around $1000-$3000 depending on quality, so in the end I decided against the writeup for now.

Sometime in the future, such a buildup writeup may happen, but in the meantime I'm going to leave it up to the guys with experience and a WARRANTY!

I'm glad to hear my site was helpful to you. Great to hear!
