Looking for advice, especially from people who have done it.

I'd like to build a VW engine from scratch and I need to amp up my learning. What are the current best resources for building one from scratch? Books, videos, article etc. I've build various small block Chevy's and motorcycle engines but never a VW and especially for a airplane. Looking for the best place to start my learning curve. As an example, do people buy new engine blocks? Used?and where to get them etc. Cranks? Same thing.

I know I can order a engine done and I know it would be best and cheaper etc. I'm not interested in that, I'm interested in physically going through the process and learning.

Appreciate any help.
