They are not difficult to work on if you know what you are doing technique wise, straight forward really. But you say you are going to do a top end rebuild and change the main bearings. What about the big end? You need to decide if you are going to take the engine completely apart....or fudge around. ?

I think you need a press to Change them?

You say that you have overhauled engines before but dont know if a big end overhaul is a big job??? Crankshaft out is a big job if you have little experience. To an experienced person its still a big job but not that challenging. Yes you will need to use not only a powerful press bur also some good alignment tooling and press tools, together with dti’s and vee blocks on a surface table.

I have always sent my crankshafts to a machine Shop for big end repairs. But i don't thing is needed if the gaps are okay.
