Experience is the best teacher. If you lack experience then show him the money. Buy your parts from someone who can guide you at least through the machining and short block build. The FE is a great motor but has its share of quirks and mine fields. Ive learned a lot from listening here on CC, but when I started buying parts for my build I went to someone who had years on me. These guys dont cost you money they save you money, at least To A Point. Use them to plan it all out right down to the last bolt. There will be plenty of decisions that you will have to make along the way, but the major $ items that go bang in the night will be covered by some thoughtful persons who know more than you or I. My 2 cents.
