I build my own engines - learned the ropes from uncle jack (Dad). If
I had to pay for that I would have a hard time affording the hobby.
But, I've cost myself quite a bit due to stupid mistakes too. I put
together web pages detailing jack's engine building tips as well as a
couple of pictorials from my last couple of teardown / rebuilds to try
to help out others who are trying to do it themselves. Of course,
Kas's books are invaluable!
I'm not pushing my site, just reminding folks that this resource is out
there.

I've done the tranny, overdrive, rear diff and all wiring too.
But, I have a knack for that kind of thing too - some folks just
aren't cut out to rebuild engines and transmissions. No knock to
them, you need to have your brain wired a certain way for that stuff
to make sense, I think.
