To add to keeping the bearing from spinning you could cut a shallow notch in the back side of the bearing then file a matching notch in the block and then make up aluminum key to drive in there with enough of a press fit to stay in the block yet not pinch in the bearing.
Also examine the web area around this cam Bearing carefully.
On a buddy’s Buick 455 he had a cam bearing that walked out some .
He thought it was just due to the cam being too tight.
He drove a new bearing in and did not think it went back in with much force,
then on the next tare down found that same bearing 3/4s of the way out.
Turns out the block was splitting in that web .
