Yes and no, lol. I think that by the time I get everything finished then yes, it will go straight into the car. However, even if it was ready to go in right now, I do not know if I could take that step yet. Looking at the engine on the stand is so less intimidating than looking at the engine while it is in the car.
UPDATE:
Got the pistons and rods back from the machine shop. Good news is that the rods are good, I need to replace the rod bolts though. Bad news is that the pistons were 5 and 7 thousandths of an inch down. 1, 3, and 4, came in at 3.775 and 2 came in at 3.773, factory is 3.78.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like it needs to be bored out, right? It is just because of what I posted in the earlier post.... if I wouldn't have posted that, I would have been ok. lol
