Finally got the crankshaft out of the '54 235. Low and behold, the camshaft nor the pistons were stuck and neither were the gears. It was the crankshaft itself! It took ALL my weight ( believe me, that's considerable!!!) of bouncing up and down on a heavy duty pry bar to break it loose. So anyway, took it in to be sent off for resurfacing (crankshaft) and started searching for main and rod bearings. Considering the prices of the main bearings ($200 - $330), is there a difference in quality between TwilightZone, Napa, Jim Carter, Chevs of
the 40s, etc? Hotrod suggested "SBC 400" in another thread, but who carries those or do I not understand that conversation?
Any and all responses will be appreciated ($60 for a set of mains?).
