(the car still not done although the engine is already on the car)
Also, how about reliability?

I'd consider looking elsewhere for your engine.
What im worying about is this.

Well if it runs now (it sounds like this setup is already in your car) then you might as well drive it around for now. If you are running boost, then you will eventually have to think about replacing your pistons anyway, so you could just do it then.
