Amazon.com or the local bookstore, anything by David Vizard.

I built my first smallblock Chevy at 16 so you're already too old to worry about being too young.

read all that you can and meet all the people you can about building engines.

i learn new things about building engine everyday. building a 200hp engine is much different then building a 500+hp motor.
