Ok so I am rebuilding my 87 GN motor and I read these forums daily for as much info as I can soak up. This will be my first "real" engine build but have done DIY mechanics for years and love it. I really want to put this motor together but the more I read about little tolerances and studs not working and what not I am freaking out. I am pretty sure I can do this but how realistic is it. I am doing a mostly stock rebuild on it. Hoping to do ARP studs, Double Roller timing chain (good?), new high volume oil pump front cover, JE pistons, celvite bearings, porting stock heads, deep sump oil pan, HD water pump, power plate, roller cam kit with stock rockers, and rocker shaft. I have my motor at a machine shop who has done a GN or two so he knows the GN clearnaces and how to machine the block properly so that is a plus. What am I getting in to? Like I said i would really like to do this myself for the experience but how realistic is it? Thanks
