You know, that's a pretty good point. If it was me, I'd have the engine built completely by Barry or Keith and then shipped to me in one of those big pretty brown crates they use. Renting an engine lift for a weekend and putting the engine in the car is more work than you think and will give you the "feel" of building your car. Short of dropping the engine on the fender well, there's not
that much you can do wrong. Then you have to put in the clutch/BH/trans/U-joints/driveshaft and hook up the MSD box, hoses, and gauges. Long before that the kids will have lost interest and be back inside playing on the Xbox, eating sandwhiches, and enjoying the air conditioning.
Trularin made me come to my senses -- I now think you should just have an engine built and shipped to you.
