I had less experience than that and a few buddies and I are almost done building it up. Just get the 4.6/5.4 rebuild book and you should be golden.

since you have prior experience, even on a chevy motor (they're not THAT much different), i'd say that you should have no problem doing it yourself. like Black GT said, just pick up the rebuild book so you have all the torque specs and have a go at it.

Aside:
The book is called "How to Rebuild 4.6-/5.4-Liter Ford Engines" by George Reid
