Building your own FE is not that complex as long as you keep things relatively simple. Rebuilding an existing complete engine that you're able to disassemble yourself is a lot easier than say starting with a bare block, buying a crank, timing chain cover, etc that you haven't had the benefit of disassembling. Similarly, things could get a lot more complex if you plan on stroking it. I built my own 428 and have had no regrets. I'm relatively mechanically inclined but up until I built my 428 I had only built a small block Chevy and a Buick V6.
