As long as youhave good oiling, is the hardening thing really "ALL THAT" important? I've never thought so......

It’s not. Unless you are really beating on them. I turned most of my cranks to SBC LJ and a few to SBC SJ because bearings were much easier to get. Of course you have to use chevy rods, but it’s worth it when you need to find bearings in a pinch.
