do yourself a favor and let a machine shop assemble the bottom end if you are going that far into it... the rest can be done with patience and a little common sense...get a good manual that shows the proper torque specs and torquing sequences... don't skimp on anything...

THIS or look for a rebuilt short block. That would save a ton of money and time.

Setting the crankshaft bearings are a bitch and no room to screw up.
