Oh we are going to build it.....I'll lock up the video games until they are done!!!!

I'm not uncomfortable building an engine. I have built a few stock engines when I was restoring old Cadillacs years ago. I'm not so sure about a big block Ford, but I'm sure I can figure it out. I think I would be somehow cheating if I bought a finished engine, but that's just me.

The way I'm looking at it, we are assembling either way. One already has the parts and one doesn't. I am leaning toward the funky block, though. I can let the boys get dirty tearing it down. Actually, a stock build/rebuild might be a good thing for our first build.

Thank you so much for all of the input. I truly appreciate it!
