Get on craigslist. buy a used complete motor u can get 4.6s out of older mustang cheap, like around a grand. and just yank it apart and put it back together. if ur not gonna use it for a replacement motor for something then u can get any make or model OHV motor. they are all setup relatively the same. I bought my buddys eclipse motor and tore it apart and put it back together twice just to understand how the OHVs worked. best $300 bucks ever spent. learned alot from it. then ended up selling the motor for $250 afterwards. I say do it just get something cheap and go to town. it u screw up, tear it down again and start over. its all for research. Good luck.

well, didn't exactly "build a race motor" but got to take one apart.. it was an 86 Mustang V-6 3.8 Push rod motor.. nothing too crazy. Just took everything off then dismantled it all the way down tot the bare-block.. pics up later!

looking at stroker kits now for my car...
