I'd be interested in a few older bearing books

I'm coming up with .351

Based on the part number breakdowns in the linked catalog and a little creative thinking this is how the part number breaks down. 2= cast iron 26= valve angle 19= 119 chambers 0= as cast chamber 0= as cast bowl 0= as cast port 502= designation they gave to stock replacement heads based on their comm...

Goodson shows they have the P281 in stock but I'll assume having 1 without the other isn't going to be useful to you at this moment.

If it's un-grooved it definitely doesn't go in the block saddle. Has to be cap for sure. I just did a 455 olds and if it's the same as a 350 olds it goes into #1 main cap if I recall correctly.
