Spinyay: Welcome to the forum. There's a book published by HP and I believe the title is How to Rebuild a Small Block Chevy engine. I used it when I did my L-82 and it was very helpful. And like Joe said, there are YouTube videos out there.
I'd suggest pulling one or both valve covers and see if the valves opening and closing coincides with where the pistons are. #1 would be the easiest since you have the timing mark on the harmonic balancer to go by. That would tell you if your timing chain is way off or broken (valves don't move).

I'm watching an engine rebuild video right now actually (just for fun, because I'm weird like that). It might help you.
