The Tom Monroe book is a very good book to use. I have it and used it a lot on my rebuild. It covers all aspects of general overhauling of the engine.
I suggest you get a few books for reference and ask plenty of questions here. Also, timing specs are posted on the forum at the moment. Copy them, you'll need the information as most books don't have it.
The most important things to have to overhaul an engine are
1) a plan
2)money
3)plenty of accurate information
4)plenty of time
5)someone to help
6)proper tools
7)a suitable place with plenty of room and out of the weather
8)boxes and ziplocks to put all of the stuff you remove in. Label the bags with a marker. Tag all of the hoses.

I know that Summit has a pretty good kit - and fairly well priced (as i understand) for the 351M rebuild - i'm rebuilding mine right now. i think the kit is about $350 or less - summit - 1-800-230-3030
