Default 305 'A' Main and Rod Bearings

This is my last try fellas. I've fought the parts battle as hard as I could and I'm down to it now. I was unusually optimistic about getting 'main' and 'rod' bearings (misread a website that said they DON'T have it as they DO have it) and I took everything to the machine shop. Turns out, no bearings.

I'm 'in line' at the machine shop so have about 2 months to source them. If I can't find them by the time I reach the head of the line, I'm going to pick it up and throw in the towel.

I'm going to let go of the wheel if I have to put a 350 in it and just go all out, square body front end, power steering, hwy gears, etc., etc. I hate to do it, but if I can't get it back all orig it doesn't make any sense to keep the rest, as big a pain as it all is.

Anyway, this is the last call for help all. You've been awesome! If anyone has any idea where I can get main/rod bearings for the 305 "A", please let me know. Otherwise, I've got a bunch of parts I'll be listing pretty soon.
