probably but my car is just waiting for the motor, all the body work is done. lol jk

yea just when you get them post pictures of the bearings, and take pictures of any markings on them.

If they are real clevites, i think there might be a problem, but if they are re-boxed, NDC's you should be ok.

OK, I took my block to the machinist on Wednesday, I told them ill be bringing them the mains, today on Friday. I got there to drop them off, and my block is sitting there wrapped in plastic. I asked them if its required to machine the block with a load on the block from the mains. They said...

Right, ill be doing a lot of research on installing he rings, and buying a lot of tools to do it properly lol.
