The later model 235 main bearings with the locator tab at the parting line of the cap and block can be used by modifying the block. The 54-55 year only 235/261 bearings with the locator dowels in the upper bearing can be very difficult to find. I've modified blocks to use either style of bearings in the past, so I know that procedure works.
