Steve, I've been called a nit-picker (can't understand why) so you may want to disregard this bad news: you didn't say whether under running water or just slowly rising,relatively clean (settled out) water, but if the floodwater was from someplace even faintly sandy, there's the possibility of fine, fine grit, and anything that's had water in it--even if it's just "mud"--isn't going to last long if it's gotten into the bearings, anywhere.

Praying would't hurt, if you're so inclined. You'll have to improvise as to the transmission, final drive and any other moving parts. Good luck.
