As said above it's not that difficult. Just make sure you're obsessively clean.
Be methodical and follow the workshop manual to the letter and you'll be fine.

When I started this DIY tuning malarky I was a complete novice. I've done numerous rebuilds from scratch including my own 600bhp build and nothing has let go yet (touch wood)

Go for it and have a go at it is my advice

Look on Projects. I'm just about to finish my own 'budget DIY rebuild'. Not so 'budget' any more, but my first ever engine build.

dont think the v9 crank will fit a classic as the v9 is a rear thrust when the classics are a center thrust!
