DO NOT USE MAIN CAPS FROM ANOTHER MOTOR your beat you need to either get the caps from your motor or get new caps and send it right back to the machine shop for an align bore if you swap mains i gaurantee you spin a main bearing i was an engine builder for 2 years at engine speacialties in delran nj ive built motors that have run 5.80s please heed my warning ask any builder on here you will have issues unless you send it right back to the shop where your caps vanished in the first place

You are going to have to get NEW caps and have the main line bored to get them straight and round. Used caps are probably going to be out of round and you are going to have to over bore and run bigger bearings.
If you lost them you are fucked. If they lost them it's free line bore time.
