If he's taken on the task of installing the engine one would assume he knows what he's doing.

hahahaha Yeah not prejudging your mechanic's capability, but I would research any mechanic's history of work before I let them tackle on a rebuild/swap. There's too many mechanics out there with false confidence who don't know jack **** and end up leaving you with a bigger headache.

+1 on doing the timing belt/water pump/other belts/spark plugs/etc before you install the new motor, as it's much easier to do with the engine out.
