before your rebuild it you have to listen to the old blues song called "straight 8 Pontiac" ;/). it has been about 6 years but I think I got most of it from Hagens Auto Parts in Puyallup, and directly through the machine shop on some too. but I think I would at this point get the machine work done, then try to find it all on Ebay. Many good deals are to be had on engine parts there. Do you have a shop manual? there are wood blocks in the rear main bearing cap. 2 different types. so the manual will tell you which ones you need. also the machine shop might want the specs from the manual as well. as I recall the bearing clearances are tighter than you average engine. it helps if they know that stuff before they start machining.
