Should I replace my bearings?
I am doing a budget rebuild on a 351C. I am putting in a cam, intake, carb, headers and rebuilding the heads. My dad says that i should replace all the bearing main, rod and cam and take the block to a machine shop to get it checked. I say that as long as the bearings look good why bother. I don't want to take the whole bottom end apart if I don't have to.
I just wanted to know what you guys who have done a rebuild like this have done. Should I replace the bearings or not I especially want to know about the cam bearings because it doesn't sound like people replace those to often.
Thanks for any info you can give me.
