I did manage to test fit the passenger side fuel rail on the drivers side with injectors, perfect fit, gotta love that!
The plan is to send the J-Tube, Blower Head Unit, TB, and fuel rails out for polish

If it has stayed sealed it will be fine for a while. If the gas cap has been off etc. gas will loose it's octane. Toluene and other additives will evaporate off quickly. If you have a half tank or less and there is a large air pocket there may be enough room for a lot of them to seperate. I detonated and runied a brand new set of JE pistons on a 11.8:1 427 sbc one time. I had a half tank of 110 in it and had been sitting there for ~6 months. First time at the track I thought it'd be fine, didn't think anything about it actually. Well that was an expensive lesson. But the gas cap on a 71 Nova doesn't actually "seal".
But come on guys, it's Moregrip. He's going to baby it with that new motor until at least the rest of that tank is used up.
