Said company does apparently have a history of using parts the "fit", even though they don't belong. (EDIT: Grady posted prior to me hitting send. Why is he up so early in CO this morning?)

Since you have no experience in engine rebuilding at this point, I would not attempt to do a rebuild without a guidance from someone very familiar with 3.0 engine. With the Motormeister background, I would think twice before making this bold decision. Specially if they came back in several boxes from MM. Would you be able to distinguish between a good part from a bad part, identify as the correct crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, etc. Do you even have a complete unit?
But, I would still encourage you to do an engine rebuild using a better engine than what you have. There is too much risk involve using your MM engine. I am a novice in engine rebuilding and doing a 3rd engine this year alone (maybe a 4th this winter) and I still keep calling Bruce A. and Mike B. once in a while for advises. HTH.
