First, price a used engine. A sedan engine will do, since you have the parts handy to switch over. If you've never rebuilt an engine before, especially one of the benz alloy ones, you probably want to let your machinist do all the measuring and figuring. They'll charge you accordingly.
Second, note the admonishments all over about needing to helicoil/timesert all the head bolt holes. This isn't a step you can skip. It requires a special plate. Make sure your machinist has access to it. (I know a guy who can rent you one if your machinist knows how to use it, it's not home-shop kind of step).
