Vette(s): 1973 Orange Metallic Coupe (orig owner), L82, 4 spd (WR), PS, (A/C & PW (I installed from wrecked 73)), leather, AM/FM Stereo, ran with '65 FI unit earlier & will again some day. 2023 Accelerate Yellow HTC Stingray

Might want to determine what caused it to go bad. Assuming that's the only one and it didn't ruin the crank, couldn't you just put a new rod bearing on that particular one? Probably have to get some plastigage and several size rod bearings to determine which one provides the correct fit.
