5.7 HEMI Vs. 408 Stroker

It's a bad idea. You can put the same bearing shells back into the same spot in the block or rod as long as it's all riding on the same crank if they are unharmed. Otherwise you've already crushed that bearing in a bore and if that bore is a different one the crush may be different, like not enough.

Those tabs on the bearings shells only serve to locate them in the bore, it's the crush that keeps them from spinning. Unless of course you've pinned them, which is another story altogether.
