Re: Engine building

Go to a junk yard and buy a SBC then tear it down then put it back together while you are reading through some books. I pretty much learned everything from hands-on experience, magazines, books and some friends putting our heads together to figure stuff out. Just dig in, get the hands dirty and do it. Remember some auto parts store will loan out tools.

Make sure you stay in school and get a good job though because then you can buy the nice tools and parts for the truck. Good Luck and glad to see you are interested in doing your own work.
