There are some awesome engine builders out there for any form of motorsports. Then there are the rest of the crackerjacks with a 180 piece craftsman tool set and a business card that reads "Professional Engine Builder" it simply amazes me when I talk to people what it takes to call yourself a "engine builder" these days. With the machine work being the exception I do build my own engines for my bracket car but I am not a engine builder.
