Are people out there just slapping these engines together???

If you want a sure-fire tested solution use BE. If you just can't get BE's, want to skimp and save a few bucks, or just need to be different then use ACL. If you believe there is a clearance issue then use the HX-STD set. Otherwise just use the H-STD. If you don't understand the complexities of bearings and their design and don't have a shop that can guide you through it and do the installation, I would avoid inter-mixing ACL sets and just use one of the already available solutions on the market.
