FYI, "mains" are the crank bearings between the block and crank.
The mains aren't the ones spinning, it's the rod bearings. Usually the one or two cylinders towards the back end of the crank, away from the oil pump. Use the rod bearings for the V8 SHO for better wear and spin resistance... $85 per rod from Bill Jenkins, quite a discount from $111 per rod list price.
