48 degree babbit blocks are not stepped journals ........ they take their own bearing sets and are all the same diameter.

I am pretty sure the 59 degree blocks use the stepped bearings like the stock blocks.




That's not correct. The early48 deg "r" blocks and "r1a"blocks used stepped journals like a 59 block but with 48 degree lobe spacing.
I have one and it uses std small block cam bearings.
Call bullet or midway cams.




Why does this not surprise me ?
Add that to the which oil pan and which crankshaft journal questions then.
I am pretty sure that the MoPar UGL cams for the babbit blocks are all gone , but cores can be sourced elsewhere.
But like everything else with these motors , bring your wallet.
