Looks like I got the wrong bearings... so now I have to wait for some new ones to show up.
The block numbers say its an early block... but the block and caps are of the later design, ie one dowel instead of the earlier 2 dowels... yes the shims can be placed so that they will sit between the shells that is the way I think they should go too.
