based on the pics and the measurements u took it all looks pretty good to me. Mite want to check one of the rod bearings NEARSET the front of the engine. Front of engine is furthest away from oil pump. If there is going to be any problems it will usualy occur furthest away from oil pump.

IF u remove any of the shell bearings (shouldn't have to) then look at the back side of the shell bearing and record any names/numbers on the back side of the bearing.

NOTE that the rod bearings usualy take a heavier beating than main bearings. Just ONE will do.

***** Interesting that the CENTER main bearing measures the same as the front 2 mains. There has been some reports of excessive cebter main bearing wear on the V8's. *******
