bigblock Dart
Welcome to FABO.
Building an engine is not that different from a small block to a big block. Slight differences in geometry/dimensions, but basically assembling a short block is not very different.
All engines start with crank, pistons & rods, cam, heads, timing gear, oil pump, pick up tube, heads, intake, timing chain cover, water pump, valve covers....
But if you want a professional built one, talk to Mike at MRL. He builds a good engine. He sponsors this site and has a link to the right ------------------------->>>>>>>
Not to mention, he's close enough to you where you can take a road trip to pick it up.
