Default Piston and rods out of order

So I bought anew ls1 motor and I plan on doing a stock rebuild on the bottom end. Everything looks fine and checked out fine but I've ran into a problem, the rods and pistons got moved and now I have no idea which one went in which hole, so how screwed am I? Can I just slap it back together or what? Thanks for the help.

Shouldn't be a problem.

If you look real close at the wear marks on the pistons you can match them to the cylinders.

The cylinders have been honed, not that they really needed it, but there aren't really any wear marks in the cylinders or on the pistons.

You're probably ok. Since its stock crank, rods, and pistons, and the cylinders have been honed, it doesn't really matter what hole they go back into.
