hi i am rebuilding my 1969 350 rocket engine right now and after looking at the main bearings i see that one of them has no groove are hole. and im wondering where this bearing belongs.i would think the only place it would belong is in the back of the engine but i want to no forsure.

The front bearing has no groove....the rear is wide and the one for the cap that the oil pump bolts to.......It is double grooved......the center is the thrust bearing that overlaps on the sides to keep the ctank from moving back and forth.
