Just out of curiosity...

For all you DIYers out there who do engine builds on your own (mostly I'm asking non-professional), how did you learn/who did you learn from? Former job as a mechanic, hanging out at your mechanic's garage, friends, shop class, technical school... I'm interested in hearing stories and some differing viewpoints

I learned from my father and husband. Started small and worked my way up. My first engine swap was a 2.5 from an acclaim into an 86 Lebaron.
After that it was pretty much repairing what broke on my lemon and then all the junkers after that...

if you really wanna hear some stories:
