Pulling it out is probably the easiest thing if you have the right equipment.

I pulled the motor out just the other day all by myself just get a cherry picker and unhook everything and make sure the front of the engine comes out first took me like 1.5-2 hours

Having the block bored for oversize pistons is the hardest part and something you would not do yourself.
