See if you can locate some .001 under bearings. These were available from mopar way back then were not available for a long time and I think now they are available again (not MP but I think someone has them now)

If the mains are that loose

Like I said above .001 bearings are for a loose standard shaft - not a .010 shaft.

No way it will rattle though Listen...we do really big inch mean drag stuff with 3.8 or a tad more --They twist the crud out of the crank and you need it! Again--.003 is not like worn out-- I help my Dad with old farm tractors and we pull some down with .008 under the spec that were still plowing! Yep OP may have been a little low but .003 on a 440 crank journal is everyday good to go. Don't be scared and blow $$ for crazy hard to find bearings--OP may drop back at idle but I promise it will jump right up and honest that is the sign of a great build to me--on one you want to Haul!

I'm not telling him I am telling you. If he is 10 (or more) under then he knew from my 1st post that .001's would not be applicable

i measured the .003 with plastigauge. then removed crank and mic'ed it.
Mike'd what? Measure the shaft,then measure the housing with the bearing in it..the diff is clearance. My guess is if you see a REAL clearance of .003 I'd run it!!
