be fun to tinker and you would learn a lot.

you'd have to understand the components, structure and purpose of the engine throughout.
would be good to learn on and see the mechanical side of modifying

just one thing, it is vital that you do things back up to the correct torque. dont cut any corners, and think that will do cos it wont.

your best get it Buy a cheap car for about £50 which runs
take the engine out and strip it total down to nothing and put it back together and get it running again.

i would go jumping in the deep end
