For those like you that think they are special, claiming to build their own engines because you/they clean your parts, apply some assembly lube, check/set a few clearances, gap rings and torque a few bolts, this is for you...
over at least the next 5 months, Tilburg's, Gulius's, Watters's, Patterson's, Bischoff's and other's engine shops phones will be ringing off the wall and their shops full of the engines for and from the biggest and winingest names in class racing just as will Sunset's, Reher Morrison's, Par's, Shafiroff's, Schimdt's and others with their shops full of and building engines for the who's who of super comp, gas, street and bracket racing.
That said, YOU too buy your engine parts just like I do and the vast majority of class and bracket racers do. YOU too pay a machine shop to do your machine work just like I do and the vast majority of class and bracket racers do. YOU too pay to have your engine dyno'd just like I do and the vast majority of class and bracket racers do. So if it makes you feel smarter, makes you feel superior than the majority of us that don't, WE are ok with that and don't worry, we won't tell anyone the truth!.
Further, last I checked when reading National Dragster, the NHRA doesn't award Wins, Wally's or $$ for those who's claim to fame is they built their engine! Fletcher along with the biggest names in NHRA Sportsman racing don't build their own engines but somehow, he just managed to win his 84th and 85th Wally.
Oh and btw, the vast majority of class and serious bracket racers don't build their cars, carbs, transmissions, converters and headers and neither do you!
