You better have access to a machine shop that will let you use their facilities without charge.
You need to have access to people who have done this before.
You can go to a different forum, but rebuilding an engine is beyond the scope of this forum. Sorry....

That would take a while. First strip the motor down completely. Then check the bore. You know where the pistons are. Then have it power washed and repainted. Then buy all new part's at a local part's store. Then replace all the parts. Well, I told you enough. Is it a 2 bolt or a 4 bolt maine? I'd prefer you get a 4 bolt. They are a stronger motor. You can tell that it is a 4 bolt by turning the motor upside down and look where the crankshaft is located. If you see 2 bolt's on one side. It's a 4 bolt, If you see one. it's a 2 bolt. Then get a 350 turbo transmission. Good luck. There's alot to it. But, I can't tell you everything. My advice is to buy the part's and take it to a good engine re-builder and they will do it. What's the motor out of?

Chilton makes good manuals.
Try going to Chevy Classics web site.
If you have not disassembled yet, make notes as you come apart, take pictures, do it in order placing the first pieces left and right far away and work towards the center.
Then just reverse the order back together.
By a rebuild kit from a parts store.
Use anti-seize, lock-tite, new gaskets, new seals, new rings.
You may want many new major components (crank, connecting rods, cams, pistons, heads, water pump, oil pump, valves, springs, etc...).
Get a new distributor, spark plug wires, points.
It really is not that tough of an engine to rebuild, part of it's popularity is it's simplicity..
Have a torque wrench handy, a timing light and the manual!.
Good luck!

first,are you sure its a 69 model 350,possibly a 327 or 307.get all machine work done to the block,heads and crank,depending if you want it stock or modified,go with forged pistons regardless.there are alot of good literature on chevy engines.follow them to the tee and you shouldnt have no problems.trying to tell you how here is next to impossible.my advise before assembly is to make sure that the block and crank are cleaned after machine work is done or any metal left inside oil ports will damage the bearing and engine.wash them out completely and dry off with an air hose.oil the crank and cylinder walls till you are ready for assembly.again go by the book.

geez!! you're not asking for much, are ya??!! lol.......First off, get a manual......Chevy engines are the best, and probably the most popular. But you also have to have the right tools, a mechanical background to understand what you're doing, and be able to use/understand some of the tolerances to the pieces you're reassembling.......best bet...take it to a local machine shop, and let the 'pro's' do it.....it'll be cheaper in the long run.....trust me on that!

Wow. That's a tall order. You can try asking the guys at askautopro.com if you don't get a good answer here.
They might even tell you what book to buy if it is too long of an explanation...
good luck.
