You would have to be able to bore the block yourself, clearance the block for the crank, hot tanking (if needed), decking (if needed), balancing, etc.....
If you have to ask about doing it yourself, IMO, the answer is no.
But as far as costs go, look around, do a search on here to see who has gone where and with what results.
You can check out www.cmotorsports.com, www.nu-tek.com, www.racenet.net, Baur Racing to name a few.
You can check the GP section right now for a damn good price on a 383 rotating assembly.
But you best bet is to do a search on this board first to get more knowledge and info on what others have done before you.

WTF
no
absolutly not
HELL NO!
i'm so shocked i'm at a loss for words-
RACE NET IS THE DAMN DEVIL!
THEY SUCK MORE **** THAN A PUBLIC BATHROOM
DO A SEARCH
THEY SUCK!
back to the original question:
you can do everything yourself if you know how aside from the machine work.
Spring compressor, Ring compressor, feeler guage, plastiguage and most of the tools you'll need to do it yourslef.
building a motor is one of those things-
get taught once and you'll feel confident doing it forever.
i wouldn't build it myself for the first time though
