Reverse Rotation long blocks are going to be more $$ than normal long blocks that Summit, Jegs, and even Ford advertise. If you are capable of doing the assembly work yourself then I would go the route of rebuilding. Takes a few special tools like a torque wrench, some pullers, and a few other tools. All the head work and block work can be performed at your local engine shops. I would find a good friend that is a gear head and let him supervise you if you are not knowledgeable. Plus you will pick up a lot of experience that you can use later.
