Whats involved with the installation of the kits, engine out job?
Engine out. Its a complete strip down.
If thats the case is it not simply cheaper to buy a pre built bottom end and simply bolt it on, thats simplifying things a tad too much I know but you get what I mean!

Engine out. Its a complete strip down.You might want a new top end though as the stock one will be left wanting even in LS3 form, though not as much as the LS1..
Better to do the whole lot all at once than do the bottom and heads later.
You will then find that extra displacement doesnt cost much at all. A 416 is virtually the same price as a forged 346 give or take. 427+ cost a bit more, but when you consider the cost of upgrading later you will decide that going more now is good.

you need to remove the engine to hone the block for new pistons. It needs washing after the machining process and you cannot do that with the engine in the car.
Incorrect. We have just had a centri blower equipped car in with one broken piston and no bore damage. Replaced the one piston and honed in situ. Not ideal, but perfectly adequate.
I suppose in theroy you could change a crank in situ, but it would take way longer than pulling the engine.
Engines can be bored in situ with the correct equipment too.
But as said...I'd love to see someone tackle a crank swap with the engine bolted into the car.
Im sure there is some lunatic out there willing to try !!!!
I once had a friend that managed to remove the engine from his mini, outside on the road, in the snow.
Perhaps nothing odd about that. Except somehow he managed to separate it from the gearbox and transfer case so he did actually remove ONLY the engine.
Bloody nutcase !!!!

Maybe if i write on the internet about swapping a crank in situ as the way to do it, it will regurgitated in a year or so as fact on here
