I'm a firm believer in "If you want it done right, do it yourself". I've learned a lot holding to this way of thinking. Yeah, I've faced a sh!tload of problems because of it, but it's been worth it in the end (I guess).

I am no expert engine builder, but I do know if you want to build an engine there are tons of books out there to tell you everything you need to know. The best kind are obviously the ones detailing the build up of Ford specific HiPo engine setups and have step by step type sections in them. But then again, you have to have the tools.

I'm getting ready to undertake a complete build up of a 393 stroker and plan to do as much of the work as I can at the machine shop where I work. It would be killer to be able to say "I built it", rather than "I bought it from DSS"

Good luck on yours Stang_ROTY. I hope it turns out to be OK. And by the way, it's not hard to pull an engine and slap a set of bearings in.
