Martin,
The main bearing sizes in the Even fire 3.0 Eagle and the Odd 
fire 2.8 Delorean PRV engines are exactly the same size and spacing. Either 
crankshaft will fit either block. The problem you run into is not with the 
crankshaft bearings, but with the connecting rod bearings. Both the large end 
rod bearing and small end piston pin are different between the 2.8 and 3.0 
engines and cannot be swapped. So if you have a 2.8 crank, the 3.0 rods and 
pistons will not fit and vis-versa.
