I would imagine any 4.8-6.0 main caps would work. They're numbered 1-5 and have the block line bored. If you planned on arp studs 90 percent of the time it would have to be line bored anyway.

You can NOT buy caps from GM. I would suggest these:

I have a set that I keep in the shop for a conversation piece. They came off a engine built by Yates, and have a cool RYR stamping on them. I’d sell them. Pm me if your interested.

Check eBay I see sets of good main caps all the time. I bought a set last year and you could still see the crosshatch from the hone on them.
