Which caps do you need??? As there are non that you can actually bolt and fit correctly. It will require line boring and line honing.

If you don't have the original main caps you can use any SBC main cap relative the main journal size but you will have to have the block aligned bored. Depending How much the the crank is move up will determine if you required a specific timing chain set. A friend actually aligned bored .020" toward the top and ended up with a 0 DECK, neat - HUH!
