Hot rodding's pioneers had to be self-reliant, making stuff for themselves.

Today, just about everything is available out of a catalog . . . at least for mainstream engines. But what if you have an oddball engine or are just plain bored with cookie-cutter parts combos? For those who dare to work on an engine for which there is little or no aftermarket support, the only solution is a back-to-basics approach, adapting parts from other engine makes, returning to original machining techniques, and even custom-fabricating stuff from scratch. Here, we'll take a look at some of these old-school techniques using by way of illustration a unique Buick '64 to '67 300 V8-based stroker assembled by Dave Nelson at Joe Sherman Racing engines. We'll also examine exotic overhead-cam conversions pioneered by home builder Pete Aardema.
