No worries on grabbing it. I dropped the pan and am taking emery cloth to the rod journals. I microed it and talked to a crankshaft guy about the specs and my budget and he said it's definitely worth a shot for $120 for the bearings. Bearings should be hear in 3-7 days from Parts Geek.
I have a friend who used to work at Chrysler and they saved a bunch of cranks this same way. I probably won't be able to put all the power I wanted on this motor but at least I'll hopefully be driving it soon.
I'll update the thread when I get done and let you guys know how it went.

Btw, anyone know the torque specs on the main and rod caps?

sounds like a plan. if all goes well for you i might try it i had the same problem but i had to drive it home, like 6 miles =\, but i might try to just drop the pan and put all new bearings in.

I ran into an issue with the bearings... I couldn't get the #5 main cap off due to the cps wheel and the top bearing on #1. Every other bearing is sliding nicely and will be easy to replace.
I should only need a couple millimeters to be able to slide those bearings out. I took off the front cover to hopefully have a little bit of room to play... Kinda stuck at this point.
Any suggestions would be really really really helpful... TIA
