You can buy main bearing spacers at most speed shops that will allow you to use standard 350 bearings. Use the 400 pistons on the 350 rods and the height will come out pretty good. You'll lose about 3/4 of a compression point in the destroke, so use a piston that is appropriate for what you're trying to do.

What does an engine block do?
It forms the 'body' of the engine - it is a lump of metal machined to take the crank shaft, oil and cooling ducts and the pistons. It is where the 'explosions' of ignited fuel are contained and turned into rotary motion.
What could cause a 99 Saturn SL2 to crank but not start Could it be the crank sensor?
Perhaps a blown fuel pump. Take a plug wire out and use a spare plug and set it on a piece of metal and crank it and look for the spark. This will eliminate an ignition problem.

Is the fuel pump rod in a 454 the same as in the 350?
Small block and big block fuel pumps and fuel pump rods are the same on all Chevy V8's up to the mid 1980's when fuel injection and new block designs started on the market. Please note that this does not include special cam motors (roller cams, etc) that do take a different (special) rod.
How do I know the starter is bad on a 1993 truck when truck will not crank?
Test your battery. If that checks out, take off the starter, take it to Auto Zone, and they will bench test it for free.
Can you build a 572 ci from a 454 ci casting?
you can and you can't. i say both because the block is to small but you could take the time to make the block's cylinders bigger by drilling them and making them wider, you would also have to look at the crank shaft room since this is 454 casting
What does it take to put a 400 crank in a 350?
The small block 350 uses a smaller main bearing diameter than the Small block 400. To run a 400 crank in a 350 the crank must be "turned" down at a machine shop to fit the 350 bearing diameters. You also will need to use special pistons with the correct compression height for the 350 IF you are using the 5.7 inch 350 connecting rods. If you use the 5.565 inch 400 connecting rods , then you can use regular 350 pistons. The longer stroke 400 crank also requires that you provide additional clearance inside the block, by grinding notches to eliminate the crank hitting the block and other parts. Finally, the entire engine must be re-balanced to make sure that the engine does not vibrate. The 400 is externally balanced and the 350 is internally balenced so you need to use 400 flywheel and 400 harmonic balancer.

generally 5w 30
How can you tell if you have spun a bearing in a small block Chevy?
That would require you to take the engine apart and inspect all the engine bearings to know for sure. It would be easy to notice a spun bearing.
Where is the crank sensor on 1991 grand prix?
The crank sensor on the 3.1 is on the firewall side of the engine, about halfway up the block, Difficult to get to. They are VERY BRITTLE, so take your time prying it out. You have to get at it from under the car and it is retained by one 10mm bolt. Good luck!

How do you take off spare tire on 91 ford explorer?
Under the hood is a long crank. When you open the back door, a small hole is exposed in the bottom edge. Put the crank in to the hole and you can crank the spare tire down. There should be a page explaining this attached to the jack.

How do you get the window crank off on a 1994 metro?
Take a rag and gently work it in behind the crank and move it from side to side while pulling up on it. This should release the catch spring and from there you can insert a small screwdriver and pull it out.
