Unless it was concrete, I'd expect there to be more damage to the floor. Unless it hit directly on an edge, I don't think you'll have any problems. Motors have to go through heavy abuse with solid mounts, and they pass those tests with flying colors. All I could see happening is denting the oil pan [and bending the oil pickup] or breaking a sensor off.

Was the motor tuned before it fell on the ground?

You should be fine, pull the pan to make sure it's not dented and to ensure the pickup is in good condition. Everything else should be fine, except your leg that is. lol

my oil pan wasnt damaged its the moroso drag oil pan, not a scratch or dent in it. lol

and you are right my leg is probably the only thing that sustained any damage, its a geed thing my leg wasnt pressed more firmly against the block when it fell or i would have been in deep ****
