I think you can save quite a few clams by piecing an engine together yourself, and then working with a local machine shop/engine builder to assemble it and break it in properly. But the "turn key" engine builders offer a valued service to those that don't want to run around (or can't afford the time to) trying to piece it together. And their consistency produces a (arguably) better product. It's a big market and there is room for players at all levels.
