Re: Good engine to learn on?

I'd suggest an inline 6 Chevy from the '60s or early '70s (before electronic ignition and serious smog control). They're easy to find on the forums, simple to work on and the parts are dirt cheap. IMHO, though, you'd probably learn a lot more by buying something like a 4-door Nova that runs for $800, pull the engine and rebuild it. That way, when you're finished, you'll be able to re-install it in the car and see if it actually runs...
