I'm going to use the crank from the blown block on the replacement. There will be no machining required to reshape the block. I'm going to get Clevite 77 bearings, should I just get some bearings without plus size? If I have to use plus size, how do I measure what size I need?

If so, then clevite makes a .25 and .5 mm undersize bearing for the rods. Rick Owner of 00 #1611 Silver (Totalled) 98.5 T-Red SVT #6180 Buckshot77@msn.com Misc 3L parts for sale

That depends on what grade bearings the originals were. He still needs to mic the crank and rods to be sure. Can't put a grade 2 crank into a grade 1 block without clearance issues and vice-versa. http://www.bnmotorsports.com "And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my CEG brothers.
