Default Got my crankshaft back from machine, which size bearings?

Forgive me as I am new to engine building, but what size bearings should I get for mains and rods according to machine shop numbers?

Here's the main journal spec straight from GM
  • Crankshaft Main Journal Diameter – Production 64.992–65.008 mm 2.558–2.559 in
  • Crankshaft Main Journal Diameter – Service 64.992 mm 2.558 in
And here is the rod journal spec from GM
  • Connecting Rod Journal Diameter – Production 53.318–53.338 mm 2.0991–2.0999 in
  • Connecting Rod Journal Diameter – Service 53.308 mm 2.0987 in
Your still within those specs on all the journals so any standard set like the ms-2199h or speed pro152m would work

Likely enough; with the feminine name on a forum with a topic that skews heavily male (not that there's anything wrong with female participation or anything like that, just, it's far less common; about like a male userID would be an a forum about makeup or some such); the CamelCase userID (FirstLast) format that looks alot like something threw a dart at 2 targets, one w first names and one w lasts; and registers to post something completely vapid and inane that doesn't even mention the topic at hand. Seems to happen on LOTS of the car forums these days. I wonder why? Are they trying to hack the used database or something?
