Best advice I can give you is to get a great big box and let the kids play in it. Take things apart in groups, like the radiator, everything for the radiator goes together. Fan, belts, shroud, attaching hardware. Underneath, motor mount bolts, bellhousing and torque converter nuts, starter and bolts. Get what I'm saying. This procedure seems stupid, but you'll have this engine smoking while the next jerk is looking for the correct starter bolt. This procedure has worked for me on aircraft as well as Ford engines.
