Okay , I see a lot of larger cubed engines that people post with their names , I'm curious to how many people on here actually built their own engine ?

which one?

Gonna go out a limb here, but I'll guess less than 10 actual owners have done the whole bore/storke change.
Now, lets talk about the guys who are collectively known as Wazoo.
Yup.
They have.
How many Paul?
I'm sure Marc Haibec owns a ZR1 or two, he has probably done more than anybody.
The Captain himself, (God rest his soul) Mr. Jim Van Dorn, did more than a few Snake Skinners, some were surely stokers.
Doug Rippe was known to have done a few, some even called "Black Widows".
I'd imagine that Lingenfelter when he was on this side of the Daiseys, (rest well, fellow racer) owned one or two while he was building them for customers.
Calloway did a few, even a few with twin turbos too.
Aaron at SGC did a few I'm sure, but he sure ain't doing them anymore, at least not at SGC.
And let's not forget Corey H. down in Texas. I know he's done a few, even one to run into the record books down at the Salt Flats.
