well all things still hold true like building it clean checking every thing for size the hard part of this build is getting parts you will have to check to make sure your engine did not come with over size lifter from when it was new you will have to rebuild the old lifters if so .i hear main bearing are hard to get and the shaft rockers need to be re cut i have the older set up on my sioux valve grinder to do that shaft rockers so just this here is more work and time then a sbc engine the sbc is just not that hard to build. (like a lawn mower engine)the hemi will be more work and will have rope seals ? they need to be put in rigth or they will leak and find a good machine shop to bad you do not live closer i would give you a hell of a deal on all machine work i would like to machine up a hemi
