Default Re: Engine Builders

In my case, I like to do as much myself as I can. That being said, life getting in the way of my race car time, makes it necessary to farm stuff out sometimes. Case in point, I'm determined to finish up a 68 Camaro street/bracket car all on my own. Rebuilt front to back, inside & out. Unfortunately since May of last year, my free time is next to none due to work and family health needs. Had I farmed the work out, I'd have been driving it by mid 2018. I have built my own engines in the past for bracket racing and had good success. If it's for the stocker or superstocker we have, it would pay off better for me to farm most engine & tranny needs out, to insure a class legal and competitive piece. It certainly is nice to be able to say I did it myself when the question is asked though.

As far as guys that build their own, vs a guy that can't change oil but can drive like Jesus, Well, lets just say I know a bunch that not only drive like Jesus, but build their own stuff, engine/trans/rear & more.

Have a great week everyone.
