Question How much machining needed?

I have decided to build my 302 from a short block assembly, and I plan on using a stroker kit. In doing my homework, I see some stroker kits listed as "balanced" and others listed as "machining and balancing required".

I will farm out the balancing, but:

1.) How much machining can be needed for a new kit from FRPP?
2.) Is a balanced Eagle kit really just 'drop in, bolt and go' parts?

I want to do as much of the build as possible, and am very mechanically inclined, but only book smart when it comes to engines. I would appreciate the help.
