Flyboy,
I dont know whether to take the first comment as an insult or a joke hopefully a joke. lol
i dont mean to sound kinda stupid but what exaclty comes in a kit i mean u said i had to go out to buy an engine that means a kit doesnt come with everything u need.
how much would u have to buy extra with a kit and how much of the actually customization builing and desgining is involved with a kit (i like that stuff dont wanna totally get rid of it)
i understand that building from sratch can be very hard and expensive and even worse can easily crash thats why i think ill take all ur advices and buy a kit.
