Default Main bearings rear oversized

Does anyone know of a supplier that can supply over sized REAR main bearings. ??
What this means is the block has had the mains line bored larger.
thanks

AE used to sell oversize main bearings when I dealt with them years ago. Don't know if they still do them, but yes, you are correct when you say the block and caps are line bored which required an oversize bearing.
