Inliners International Forums General Discussion MOPAR Crankshaft bearing caps

The Plymouth engine I recently purchased was already disassembled. It appears that whomever disassembled the engine did not mark the 2nd and 3rd crankshaft bearing caps so that they could go back in their original places. My factory parts book lists the same part numbers for these caps so I guess looking for different parts numbers on the caps themselves won't work. Is there any way to determine the correct location of each of the caps?
Thanks.

First try fitting them up and feel with your fingers if they make a nice smooth join between the block and caps.

If that's not good enough, I'm told that fitting up bearings and a crank will tell you, as the shells will be tight on the crank.

Plastigage is another possibility.

Thanks Ray.
