CNCD,
I suspect that I will be going to the Mopar dealer for my bearings.
the 0.842" bearings you mention must be the ones for the 2.10" big journal 292. I was confusing them with the 2.00" small journal 194, 215, 230, 250 sixes. didn't some of them use V-8 bearings?
it has been said that "crush" is what keeps bearings in their places. so I'm not going to worry too much about tang location except for longitudinal location in the rod when the rod is first torqued.
