all right guys... I know I'm in over my head here, and yes... maybe fool-hearted. However, I am doing this with my son, and a very good friend that has a lot of experience with building engines and custom engines if I need him as well. I have labeled everything, have taken 360 videos of my progress when the areas got "advanced" looking. Pictures, pictures, pictures... and I have all of you to stop me from doing something stupid. Breaking this down I KNOW was the extreme easy part... I'm going to do a ton of research and education on the next steps. My local friend here told me not to mess around with the block, head and crank... send it to the machinist. Decked, honed, dipped, balanced crank.... whatever it needs. New pistons, new connecting rods, and so forth as needed... Then... stupid slow steps. I may even only do a couple of steps at a time and then check to recheck and then check with you guys.. Maybe I am throwing a ton of money away, but I have always wanted to do this... I have to start somewhere. why not a cheap engine like this? SolT - I appreciate your enthusiasm. Thanks man. Cbat - You are the voice of reason... Between you both I hear the roar of the crowd and the screech of the brakes... I love it. You both are right in my opinion. This may take a year or more... thats fine. I have time. I will be back my next day off. Let you know maybe what I have going on. Probably sending the block, head, crank, connecting rods out and maybe hear back from them by then... See ya'll later. Thanks a ton to all you guys.
