Default Motor Qustions?

I picked up a 85 302. If you guys didnt know i literally crank walked my 5.0. WHat im wondering is if the crank pulled out a few inches would i still be able to use my KB pistons and connecting rods, as well as the E cam. I know my manifold and heads i can throw right on there with no prob. BUt im worried about the internals. ANy help is greatly appreciated

Cam should be ok, but I think the pistons will not be. If the crank moved in and out while running then the pistons probably got fucked up. The rods MIGHT be ok, you'll have to check.

Have 'em checked. I'd say no, also.
