So just some update and looking for thoughts before I bring it elsewhere .
Took block , crank and bearings to the shop that is helping with this. This is a small shop that an old friend runs that helps me out a bit with the race car. his abilities are limited , meaning he does not have line honing or line boring equipment .

checked crank runout and it is less than .001.

checked crank journals. 2.739

put my bearings and crank in another block , torqued down and turns fine.
measured clearances with bearings torqued down in my block and all are +.002 .
all of the main bores are the same size and exactly at spec . FYI the test block that all worked in is about .001 + over spec.
Had a set of lightly used bearings and put those in my block , and its tight but turns . These bearing were about 1/2 a thou thinner than my new kings .

My next move would be to bring it to a shop that has line boring equipment .
I think what I'm having a hard time with is why ?? This was a running engine that ate the thrust bearing . Had the crank thrust repaired , and consequently the main journals cut .010 . So why would I need to get the block modified ?

Could this block have had an issue that went unnoticed until the crank was cut and this made it show itself ?
In the past this motor was hard on bearings until I started using King standard x to get a little more clearance.

Thanks for looking
