I rushed my motor a bit so I could race Pinks All Out at Bandimere in 2010 or I would have main studs as well.
Here's another idea, have Mile High Crankshaft in Denver turn down your main journals to 2.20 and buy a new set of Molnar 6.625 rods. He produced them to fit his 4" stroke 2.20 rod journal 428 cranks. There are far more and better choices of BBC bearings than Pontiac. Otherwise, Eagle still produces a I beam replacement rod and from time to time you'll see a set of CAT or RPM rods pop up here.

That's not a bad idea. I've heard the Molnar pieces are top notch. I may have to look at cost and availability of bearings and make a decision. I was going to go with the standard eagle H-beams.
