building a short block

ive got a 350 mains block, rods, pistons, main caps, crankshaft, and all the bearings. my question is, if i got some ARP bolts or studs for everything, can i build the short block myself (not could i actually do it, cause i know i can). im talking about the balance of everything, my rods came balanced -+1 gram of each other, so would i need to have it professionally built?

you can build it yourself just remember torque and tolerences measure everything recheck and most of all take your time. If you want it balenced a machinist can do it for 150 to 200
