Paul's Rod & Bearing does excellent babbitt work and has been used by several of the best engine restoration shops. I think he's down in Arkansas or thereabouts.

Though I know it's not the ideal solution, I do know of many Packard Twelves and post-35 Eights and Super Eights happily running on rebabbitted shells. Perhaps there is some special technique that's required, the absence of which explains those failures with this technique. Still, I'd only do it if there were no other reasonable alternatives.
