It's been a while since I did a motor myself, but when I did some checking
around for my '68 Firebird (350 V8), I was better off giving a shop the engine
and let them do the rebuild. The machine work and engine kit was something
like $800. The price for them to rebuild it was about $900 PLUS it's
guaranteed. I guess it all depends on what you want to do, but for an
additional $100 it was well worth it to have someone else tear it down and
build it up and have a warranty.
