I agree honestly, I was under the impression that shiny bearings were just used bearings. I haven't pulled out any in a while so I can't remember what the last set looked like, but according to my machine shop they aren't shot but it would be a good idea to replace them. Just to give you all an update, engine project has gotten completely out of hand (which of course is what you were all secretly hoping for anyway). Engine is still at the engine shop, but nearing competition. All the bottom end internals are stock but have been cleaned up, all new bearings, new oil pump, new timing chain, heads were hand ported with a 3 angle performance valve job. The guys building this so called budget motor are the best in my area. I have personally done business with them many times before, there is some real magic in their port work. I am not sure what the flow numbers are but they said we are going to be very pleased with the end result. They spec'd out a custom cam to go along with the heads and then port matched everything to the LT1 intake we are also having them tap and drill the distributor hole for. Roller rockers, push rods, valve springs and all new hardware. Hardly what you would call a bare bones rebuild. As usual well over done for the application. This should be some car when its done.
