I am not an engine builder but i would assume it would be ok. I would be more worried about if any damage was done to it depending on how hard it hit the floor and where it hit. I would go over the engine with a fine tooth comb looking for cracks in the block etc. It would suck to not check it over before you put it in ad then find out something wasnt right. good luck man.
