I've seen too many guys selling "rebuilt" engines around here that had a quickie valve job, a ball hone job and a trip to the car wash to wash them up before being reassembled with a low buck ring and bearing kit. Nothing wrong with that if you are putting a driver motor together for yourself but it is false advertising if you are selling the engine as rebuilt.
Right now it boils down to check everything just as if you had pulled the engine off a stand and installed it yourself. Check for what else they didn't do right or didn't finish. Don't assume anything except that you need to check everything.

mr48chev,
I've taken your advise on this before and if you dont check every nut and bolt yourself then you don't know its right. As I mentioned in my post above there was no bolts in the torque convert to the flex plate. I've come across many WTF moments in this build. You can only count on yourself to make sure its done right the first time.
