I don't think you should try it. Or put another way, you should try it but be prepared for it to not go well. Building an engine isn't like replacing the shifter coupler bushings, just repeated many times. You have to know a lot of little things about a lot of little things, and your hands need to be experienced in how to do certain things and how those things are supposed to feel. I don't know how else to put it.
What might be a better idea is to remove the engine yourself and strip off the exhaust and induction, and present it to an engine builder as a long block. Then when it's rebuilt, do the installation yourself. Some builders won't go for this because it introduces too many variables out of their control. But if you find a builder who'd do it, it would cut down on labor costs significantly.
