If the guy will be so kind as to provide a small encyclopedia's worth of specifics about his vehicle, such as gross weight, gear ratio (of all the transmission gears plus the rear end), tire sizes, part and/or casting numbers of every part he intends to use in the engine buildup, etc. I'll be glad to provide him with plenty of part numbers and specifications, and charge accordingly for the time and effort I have spent looking up all those parts. It's the way I made a living for 40-something years, building $15K race-winning engines, training hundreds of young men (and women) to make a living in the automotive trade, and coming up with innovative solutions for a lot of unique mechanical problems.

If you're so interested in having an encyclopedic source for information that you're too lazy or incompetent to look up on your own, especially on a free internet forum, why not spend a few decades getting qualified to provide those answers yourself? In the meantime, that mistletoe is still on my belt.
