personally, I ended up just letting the local speed and machine shop assemble my shortblock. They have tons of experience assembling motors and race motors, and they only charged me a total of like $650 to bore & hone the cylinders, replace all the freeze plugs (which all was $250), balance the crankshaft ($200) and assemble the short block ($200). I know how to assemble it, but they have access to all the machines and equipment, and it was just easier and more convenient for me to go that route. Really, it only costed me $200 extra because everything else was a necessity anyways. Just something to think about.
