Suggestion before you guys get started. Since we're all not Bernds, no
offense, Bernd. ;-) what you should do is to get to know a place that builds
engines for a living, has their own dyno, and has their own machine shop.
That way as you get stuck at certain levels in the process, and you WILL get
stuck, you can go to them for help and/or resolution. As you get your
engine(s) to the point of actually running they can even be a bigger help by
putting it on the dyno. That single $250K machine can tell you a lot of
things about your engine, some you want to know and some you don't. Good
luck to you both, my hat's off to you!

Well i am in the same boat as u, i have motors just dont have all the tools
to do it and knowledge, one thing i suggest is i got a engine rebuilders
book
by hayness at pep boys, mine covers for engines 221-460 since i have old
260s
and 302s and it tells ya what tools and how to exactly do it, interesting
reading to.
