Does anyone know if this bearing cap is an original 1954 235 engine bearing cap? The new bearing and the old bearing are the same size and it appears the new bearing would work if the cap is drilled for the dowel or if the dowel is removed from the bearing, which may be easier.
Just a quick note to answer your question. Per the 1929-54 Chevy Master Parts Book, it looks like your cap is the correct one for the '54 engine. Just in case it may ease your mind.
