That was my original plan but I spun a rod bearing right before moving cross-country and needed something immediately that I could install in a weekend. Buddy's shop was able to get the motor from Jasper in a couple days at cost so I went for it.

Hopefully the bottom end looks ok, I decided to just throw some EB goodies at it for now since I'm short on time. I'll give it a good lookover and check the cyl walls etc. from the top at the very least...
