my H/C/I project turned into a complete rebuild, and as always it was easy to take apart. but now im doubting myself on putting everything back together correctly and with the correct clearances. ive rebuilt plenty of 2 stroke motors and a few 4 strokers but never an auto engine. my block should be back from the machine shop in a few days and then i can start. so i was looking for good website or book i can use to help me go step bt step without missing anything. i dont want to pay someone to do it as i want to learn myself. i have all the correct tools for the job, just lacking a little confidence and know how. any help would be great.

There are lots of really good books out there that go into detail on rebuilding the SBF. You can usually find them at a bookstore like Borders or Barnes And Noble, or sometimes you can even find them at the auto parts store. If neither of those, you can definitely buy them online over at Amazon. Read the reviews to decide which is best for you.
