Is it possible to use the rod from your original engine?
No, my original motor didn't have one.

Already planning another PAP adventure. Gotta get this done before Monday when the weather turns again and Kevin goes back to work on Tues. I'm tired of car pooling/driving his giant gas suck F250! I want my car back!!! It's been just over 3 months!
