Wasn't rod bearings. Main bearing seized to crank. I replaced the engine with another good used one and changed the rod bearings before I installed it. Old engine is collecting dust at the shop. Based on what I've read, the block is not really usable if there is main bearing failure so I don't think I can rebuild it.
