Default Mixing main caps?????

Can you mix a main cap from one LS1 block to another????

I purchased a good bare block to transfer parts, and the seller now can't find the main caps that went with it. I have mains in the donor block (bellhousing is cracked from a severe collision).

???????

That's cool then. I guess if building the engine right you would have the shop line bore it anyway...so it isn't a total bad deal if I don't get the caps that belong to the block.

And it's only a $75 mistake, so not too bad.
