That is about the same thing that we were thinking... as engine builders our selves, we gasped..lol we immediatly start thinking about how to get the dirt out of it... lol
Yes, they may be able to tell you about the motor, but I know this group personally, and WOW!! I will be surprised if this engine runs.. they ask".. What do you mean I have to PRIME IT?..."

One thing I will say for them is when someone asks them a question about the motor the answer wont start with "well my engine builder said ".

I know we would all want a sterile environment, me especially. Back in my High School days in the early 70's I had a neighbor with, what I thought was the coolest 55 Chevy, looking back it was a POS, and I would ride to school with him against my parents wishes. It was fairly fast and his dad was a local legend at the circle track with nail head Buicks, but one day it was faster than normal and I asked him what he did. He and his brothers got drunk(already mentioned) and put a motor together with what ever they had in the garage(dirt floor) that would fit together and boy did it fly. It only lasted about a month, but that is all they could afford or do and they did it. Is it wrong? Not for them.

Notice - IT HAS MADE IT IN THE CAR...

Pretty darn clean looking setup. I'd run the fuel line as far away from the hot water pump as possible rather than behind it.

Is that a Wal-Mart rotor on the distributor?

Looks like a street set up. Probably last 300,000 miles doing it that way. If they were in a engine building set up probably wouldn't even crank...
