Well, Yes and no.
I started with the bare block and took it to get painted to match the car color, had another company build the lower end, had Engleese (sp) build the induction system, Jay Nordstrom gave me the flex hoses.
I
Built the purge tank
Polished all the parts
Installed intake & induction system
Installed all the small parts
Installed the alternator
Installed the water pump
Installed the pulleys
Installed the valve covers
So, yes I had some help but it was basically in pieces and I put it all together. I have built many engines in the past but this is a Nitros Engine and I did not want to take any chances with pre-detination. So, I had someone with more experiance builld the short block.
I also had someone else rebuild the transmission, install the carpet and paint the car. Other than that, I put every single nut and bolt on myself.
