Well minor update... Sorry I havent posted any pics, most the time I have to get on here is when Im at work lol. Looks like the rod is going to be saved 
Machine shop said the big end is still perfectly fine and theyre sourcing a new bushing from BC for the small end. Thats going to help alot, keeping me from spending money on a new set of rods as BC didnt have a single they could sell me

Id say 95%. Barring anything going wrong when Im putting it back together I think its def doable. I need to fab a new cold side IC piping and redo some wiring, oh and im redoing all the vac lines with push to connect. Bad thing is all that stuff cant be done until the motor is in so it can be mocked up. I should be able to have the motor assembled and dropped in the first weekend in march. That way Ill have the following few days to finish the piping and everything, then a week to prepare for TX lol

Hmm I was actually worried about that considering the fittings and line are only rated to 180*F. May just be sticking with reg old vacuum line, hell I havent had an issue with it yet, just liked the idea of the push to connect. Or I just looked, its only ~$30 more to make up a bunch of 4an lines and fittings and go that route. All of that stuff is rated to like 500*F so I think itd be good
