I wouldn't worry too much about that. If you've turned a wrench before and have 'mechanical' common sense, all you need is to learn the details of this particular engine and this community is great for that. I hadn't wrenched on an LT5 either when I bought my first ZR-1 off ebay sight-unseen (only pictures) and mine was a total basket-case; it didn't even run. Even some on this forum back then were saying it was a 'part-out' car before I bought it.
But I pretty much completely disassembled/reassembled the LT5 and even tackled the biggest job on this engine: timing it. I brought '90 ZR-1 #2299 back to life on probably the tightest budget of anyone here and had many miles of perma-grin (
) in it afterwards. Here's a link to my restoration thread if you're interested (lots of pics!):

I can definitely confirm that from personal experience. Had a lot of help from this awesome community and even some parts donations from a few guys here.
So I say, go for it!
