[Snakebit]

I could have built my own, but by the time I purchased all the micrometers, dial indicator, cam degree wheel, ect, ect, it was easier to let some one who does it every day with a few tricks up his sleeve and years of experience. After spending all the time and money on the best parts, Scat forged crank, Crower Sportsman Rods, AFR heads, and JE pistons, I did not want to take a chance forgetting something stupid and have the engine take a dump. Definately balance and blueprint the parts, for a few extra bucks it is well worth it.

If I were rebuilding the engine in my beater 88 Ford Ranger, different story. Better yet, go to a bone yard and buy a used engine for $400.
