Try R.F. Equipment in Michigan. 800-828-6943. I got a price about a year ago from a company (not R.F.), but R.F. has a lot of connections. They won't be cheap, $750 just for the mains, but they're out there. They were available only in STD. or .030U/S. I can't remember the company because I postponed my D-281 project when I heard the price. I didn't have anything to put the motor in, it was just to have around. Another place you might try is Mac's Antique Auto Parts. 800-777-0948. Part of their business is re-babbitting connecting rods for early Fords. Ask for someone in the technical dept, maybe they could re-babbitt your inserts. It would be a simple matter for a machine shop to build a mandrel to finish the bearings, if Mac's can't do it. This is assuming the inserts haven't been damaged by metal-to-metal contact with the crank. I don't know what your situation is, but if there's no copper showing, touch up the crank with some 600 grit wet-n-dry, get some Plastigage and check your clearance. If they come in around .005, I'd put them back in and run them.
