If you provide the bearings with the block, any competent machinist will 
figure out what to do. Otherwise, if you tell them that the bearings are 
from a Spitfire, they can look up the OD for the align bore.

Don't forget to provide your cam so they can dimension the journals for 
proper clearance. Otherwise, they might go in too tight and you'll have 
problems.

I recall that aptfast.com had the dimensions, but I'm having trouble 
accessing that site right now... but check them out.
