torque wrench
Possible to purchase one torque wrench that will cover everything needed for a complete build? (purchasing engine not building) Just wondering what I need

Actually I think that will be very difficult. On the bottom end you have AN3 fasteners which start at like 25 lb/in and on the upper end you have the big bolts for prop and such which take quite a few lb/ft. You will probably need 2 or three of them.

Joe,
You will need an inch-lb torque wrench the most during the build. I bought one from Sears (Craftsman Microtork® Torque Wrench, 25-250 in. lbs., 3/8 in. Drive , Model # 44593 ) which has worked very well.
You will need a Ft-lb torque wrench less frequently - engine mount bolts, wing bolts, some other random bolts here and there. You can probably find someone to lend you one.
