Re: Engine building

hey man, i was in the exact same boat as you. My family doesnt know anything about engines (they know how to change the oil haha). I wanted to take auto tech badly but my schedule wouldnt allow it. I did however get to take machine tool which allowed me to race the schools 79 camaro and i learned a tad about engines during that. Almost everything i have learned though has been from the internet. Im 18 and just built my own motor for my truck and it runs great. All i can say is do all the research you can online and figure out what your budget will permit. Building an engine can also get very pricey fast so expect to pay a little more than what the parts should add up to be. And the feeling of knowing you can build a motor is fantastic. Good luck with whatever you do!
