Re: First rebuild
It's completely doable for a novice! I learned a few things the hard way so I'll pass them on.
- Get books. I'd recommend "how to rebuild a small block chevy" by David Vizard. Get two or three books. The more reference material you have, the better.
- Pay for quality machine work, it's worth it.
- Buy quality parts the first time rather than cutting corners.
As far as your actual build goes, how much power did you want?
