-I have a 5 months old and she takes priority over the cars
-It would surely end up being more expensive, especially if you factor in the future resale value of a car with a homebuilt engine vs. one with a professionally built, warrantied unit.
Imagine spending that amount of money and suddenly get wrecked...

Better build yourself (if you have the means) and enjoy it until last
