Depends on your budget, the level of your intended build, and your ability level.
If your budget allows, then you need only drop the parts off at the shop, any competent machine shop can take it from there.
Some of the biggest scratch savings is in doing your own disassembly / assembly.. the biggest thing is to mark your piston rod caps. Mark them to the front of the cap, one thru eight, front - to - back. Pull the pistons one - by - one, and put the cap back on, with the proper orientation. I like to leave the crank in the block, just break the mains loose. That way the crank is protected in transit.
The machine shop will need the block, pistons / rods, and heads. You can also drop off any parts you want cleaned.
Lots of books on the subject too. Any parts place that has manuals will probably have a rebuild book for a 350.Last edited by firebird77clone; 03-09-2014 at 10:25 AM.

Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
