Running Main Bearing Inserts To use A 383 Journal Crank In a 440 Block

Apart from the miniscule benefit of reduced brg speed [ friction ], using an 'insert' is more likely to cause failed brgs. The brg shell transfers heat to the block/cap. Having another layer of metal there is going to reduce the amount of heat that can be transferred.
simple solution to that.
Heat the block to operating temperature and check the bearings clearances
