I did the same thing. Sent a 1970 4-bolt 400 block to a machine shop for a sonic check. They went out of business and lost all the main caps. I only retrieved the block back. I bought all 5 mains from Pro-Gram Engineering. My engine builder installed them for $550 at the time. It was used on 4.125 stroke / 4.165 bore combo that made 699.9 hp at 6900/7000 rpm. This before the aftermarket blocks. were the norm.
