Line boring might work, but you will be lucky to find a main bearing cap that lines up with the original line bore close enough so you only have to do a cleanup line bore. B It may have been bored originally pretty far off radial wise or to the left or right of the horizontal. B My restorer friend used to have a box full of extra main caps that he picked from to find one close enough to work. B Even that did not always work. I wish you luck.

You will have to line bore when using a new cap or one from another 
engine. Failing to do so will result in immediate bearing failure in 
most cases.
