Yes, it is possible to change the crankshaft bearings on a 4.3 Vortec engine without pulling the engine, but it can be a challenging task. You would need to remove the oil pan and potentially the main caps to access the bearings. Ensure that you have the right tools and follow proper procedures to avoid damaging the engine components. However, this method may not provide as much access as removing the engine, so consider your comfort level and the condition of the engine before proceeding.

By "siezed", I'm guessing that the crank bearings froze. If that's the case, either a complete rebuild (no sense pulling it out and fixing the bottom-end without doing the top end also) or a new or remanufactured engine
How difficult is it to change 350 main bearings in chassis?
I assume you mean to ask how difficult it is to change the main bearings WITHOUT pulling the engine out of the vehicle. Don't bother. To properly replace the main bearings you need to pull the crankshaft away from the engine far enough to be able to put a micrometer on the bearing surfaces of the crankshaft. To do that you need to disconnect the crankshaft from the transmission AND pull the pistons part way out. Also, depending on the type of seal used, many rear main seals must be replaced by pressing them into place after the crankshaft is in. Don't even try to replace bearings without first verifying the status of the crankshaft. It must be round and within tolerance. If the old bearings have worn there isn't much chance that the crankshaft hasn't been affected.

Either raise the engine or drop the differential and relay rod. Its not a fun job. I recently had to replace one of my rod bearings, ( long story of issue), so I dropped the pan and did the change without pulling the engine. Its not too difficult once you get into the job. But he is correct you will need to drop the differential to get to the pan.
