[750hp]

I'd love to have the time and talent to do everything myself. I don't have the talent, and I don't have the time to learn.

I also don't have an endless bucket of money, so when I made the decision to have a high HP motor built, I was more than happy to pay to have an expert assemble it. For me to hurt a big dollar motor as a result of my own mistake would have risked my ability to actually complete the Cobra.

For me, the cost of assembly by a reputable shop is a small price to pay for the peace of mind. The price is a bargain when you factor in that the engine builder often has years and years of experience and intuition to pick up on the tiniest little anomaly that the average home builder might miss...
