Default 4.6 rebuild

Hi, I am new to this forum but not to mustangs. With that said, my engine is fine right now with 70,000 on my 99 GT.However, I plan on running a Kenne Bell at 11-12 lbs boost so I want to replace te whole rotating assembaly and install a main support gurdle. This engine will be built on the side and I already have a brand new block. Here is the main thing: I want to do this myself. I wantto undertake this myself and do it right.I am in no hurry but I need ( step by step detailed instructions on how to build from a bare block) I have sean hylands book and it has lots of good tips but no step by step. can anyone pointme in the right direction?

The easiest way is to tear down an existing engine. Buying a 4.6 from a junk yard may be an easy way to look at what how it's put together. It'll cost a couple bucks, but may be cheap in the long run (plus you have more toys).

The tricky part will be the timing chains and getting everything lines up correctly.
