You are pending until you are driving down the street with the new motor

Drive home rules:

Keep it under 4k RPM
No constant speed. You need to fluctuate your RPMs (main reason I did not drive to Vegas)
No full throttle
Get oil change ASAP when you get home

Find out how much a uhaul truck and trailer would cost to rent. They might have good deals, but it is summer so maybe not, but worth checking into.

Good for you but bad for the other owner. The swaps usually go fast and I bet you will have the car tomorrow.

Another prestigious thing about being in this club is that you can go to an RX-8 meet with your all stock engine (after it's broken in), and get a better dyno pull than the modded 8's.
