Well Mike, (dunno if you read my intro post).

I've got a small 360fe I'm going to play with. In the meantime I'll slowly get the funds and parts to build my 'perfect engine' in the shop.
Figure this way I can break everything on the cheap engine and learn from there.

But I'd definatly build it all myself. I have rebuilt 10,000+ lbs engines but oddly enough never built any gas engines. It's kinda a learning experience/hobby.... we all do different things for fun I guess.
