Just got off the phone with the machinist and he had the same concern about
the bearing caps. Wonder how likely it is the original owner has the
original caps. Anyone know M. Marousky's email address.

Huh!,
What happened to the original main bearing caps on the rebored block?
I'll be interested to hear if the caps off of your other block will be a
close enough fit to use.
Anybody else ever swap MB caps fro one block to another?
Dereck, don't forget the bypass valve and the cam bearings!
