Sounds like you at least have some experience turning wrenches - so I'd imagine the engine would be a fun challenge.
These old engines are very forgiving, and they make a great first engine to rebuild.
I think you'll find that there's a limit to the complication. When you're new to it, it can be a little overwhelming.
You'll be removing things left and right, getting more and more nervous that you'll never remember where it all goes.
But all of a sudden you're done removing parts and you realize it's not all that bad. In fact it's quite simple.
Most parts can only go back one way, and are very obvious where they all go.
Generally speaking - and depending on how far you go with the rebuild, any part the moves should be marked or labled so it can go back to its original position. Connecting rods should stay in their position on the crank - lifters should stay in the same position on the cam, etc.
Gears should already be marked so they can be reaaligned properly - make sure you can see the marks before removing them. If not, make your own.
When you remove something - either put the bolts back in the holes - or bag them and keep them with the part. That'll save a lot of trial & error searching later.
Take pictures as you go in case you ever need to remind yourself of exactly how a bracket goes.
How much of a rebuild are you thinking? Remvoing the engine or just swapping pistons?
