Thanks all,

This might sound crazy, but I have never build an engine before and wanted to start with this one. I was lucky enought to get all the parts, and will be putting this in a Factory Five Cobra. Its going to be set up for racing (Ceramic coated pistons, tephlon coated skirts, Ceramic coated combustion chamber, AFI balancer), but It is just going to be a weekend car to cruise through south florida) The more detailed you all can be the better. I understand the concept of timing a cam in a normal engine.

There are timing marks on the cams. Should the Colored links on the chain be set on a specific timing mark to start? Does anyone know if someone has a book on this? I see on amazon there is a book by the guy who sold me the cams (how to build a blown alcohol engine) where the book seems to be about a cammer engine. I am willing to buy, but am unsure if its relevant to a car running on pump gas?

Thanks again everyone!
