Crankshaft Bearings - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is it possible to replace crankshaft bearings with the engine still in, I was told to change the bearings if connecting rods are in good condition polish crank with fine sandpaper. Change oil 10w-30 diesel oil, replace oil pump and that may last a while.
I was told this by an old shade tree mechanic who's yard is like a time capsule of old parts trucks, after I explained that I'm saving to buy an ls (low miles) and really don't want to buy another sbc, not like these are common at yards.
As always thanks for your advice...it is greatly appreciated!
