why not take your motor to a machine shop have them do the install on the block... it will only cost like 150 to do the build...

you mean take the block to them? Cause there's really no way I can get the engine out. Lowest install was 800...

rent a engine hoist from a local rental place for 30 bucks for the day and pull that bitch out.

Once you strip the block down which you can do with most basic tool sets and a few rented tools form auto zone (pully puller, grear remover) just take the bare block with bed plate and crank up to a machine shop in the trunk of someones car. Bring them your new pistons, rings, rods, and bearings and tell them you want it hot tanked, bored/honed if your going bigger bore and then just the rotating assembly put together. shouldn't cost more then 300 I would say. There is enough how-tos on here that you can figure out how to tear it down and put it back together with some basic direction following skills and common sense. Good Luck!!!
