You would have to pull the engine, becuase 9 times out of 10 your going to have crank damage

A motor with a bent rod would need a complete rebuild.

Or you could get a donor motor and drop it in, but rebuild Would be better...

If someone had a bent rod, I would just recommend getting a used block.

So if you are going to buy an engine with a bent rod, I wouldn't even bother.
