It would seem that the only 1 5/16 shell bearings available are Austin ones from 3 bearing cars. I am curious as to whether it has been confirmed that there is no alternative (- i.e. compatible bearing from another engine) or that they are such a niche product that no-one has ever looked into it?
The shells available aren't ideal as they are narrower than the crank journals.
What is the margin to modify bearings - can the locating tabs be re-cut or is the risk of distortion too great?
