I've got bearing part numbers and crankshaft grinding specifications, if that will help. Shoot me a PM or an email. Be aware that some of the bigger V6 crankshafts were precision-balanced to a specific piston/rod set, so swapping cranks without rebalancing could result in a pile of really expensive junk parts after a rebuild. I don't think the 305 is that critical.

My Federal-Mogul shop specifications book states that if the crankshaft is reground, the rod and main journals must be surface-hardened by the "Tuftriding" process or something similar.
