Read my post - I said do what I did. Get a busted motor - and put to together and take it apart a coupla times a month. I STILL get big builds done by the pros - but I won't be "carless" b/c I don't have money to give a shop b/c I can put a basic b and d series together. I also like "liability". I can afford to blow shit up bc I have more than 1 car - but some people do not. In that case, save, get it done once and get it done right. That is just my opinion. for example, ask him if he knows what plasti-gauge is and I bet he will say no - lol.
