Why do you need us to give you a step-by-step if you already have a manual? A better book would be one specifically for rebuilding smallblock Fords. Tips and tricks not commonly mentioned can be found here on Stangnet. Rebuilding an engine the right way is a fair bit of work, but not really hard if you get serious and take your time.

Chilton manual sucks. Go online (ebay is where i found mine) and search for Tom Monroes "How to rebuild Ford Small block engines" My windsor was my first rebuild and followed his manual to a T. Great book!
