Default connecting rod bearings

I need to replace my connecting rod bearings. Problem is Mac offers non flanged for this year but it comes w/ flanged.... Question is, are they interchangeable??? 38 one tonner w/ original 221cc.

Not interchangeable. Do you know what size you need ? I might have them.

The journal is 1.999 w/ a flange, the measurement I took was 1.985 so I guess it would need to be .010 undersized. The bearings that I have pulled so far look to have no wear but that is probably because they were not undersized (lot of slop in the rods). Let me know if you have them, I'm in the market.

32-38 are flanged bearings, If you crank measures 1.985 it's .004 under .010 you should have the crank turned to .020 under Walt
