just out of curiousity, what are you going to do when a wheel bearing fails and you're out driving around and it siezes up. if you're lucky you'll skid to a halt. if you're not lucky, you'll end up starting with a whole new truck. IIRC a Cummins weighs about 1200#, whereas a BBC weighs about half that. its alot of extra load to be riding around on it 100% of the time.
