I did not grow up with a love for cars like most had, I grew up dealing with cars like my mother had...Take it to the shop. I have now gotten older and have found that I like to do the work myself on my car.
So I guess my real question is should I attempt to assmble the lower end of motor myself? or should I rely on the shop to do that?
thx

Since I didn't have the time or know how when I built my 350, I had the machine shop build the bottom end and I did the rest. I gave me a real under standing how things work. And when I had to work on the motor I was really familiar with the process. Good luck. I'm about to build a 455 to replace the 350 and I plan to do all the build up myself. Good Luck Again.
