I really try to search for an answer before asking as there is so much information already available on this site I figure someone has asked it before. But, it seems this has been asked in various threads but I can't find an answer and I want to be sure I have accurate information before taking my parts to the machine shop. I also searched the FSM.

What should the size of the big end of the connecting rods be when reconditioning them?

And while we're at it what should the size of the main bearing shells be when having the block line bored?
