I figure a major cost of having an engine built for you is the labor. If that's true...what are the chances that someone with a small amount of mechanical knowledge combined with the "rebuilding your Datsun Engine" book and the amassed wealth of knowledge here at HybridZ can assemble an engine on their own.
I had originally posted in this thread that I would gladly supply food and beer for assistance in this endeavor. When that failed, I thought I might try this route. Really, how hard is it to put a motor together. I figure I'll have my head professionally done and assembled, buy carbs from Ztherapy and have a machine shop clean up the block. Basically all I
ll have to do is install the pistons, oil pump, headers, carbs, distributor, and timing chain.
Can it be done?
