main bearing alternative

in the midst of rebuilding my 3.0 spec racer motor and have been researching main bearing replacement options. good info in this New Glyco Inner IMS Bearings - unusable? and other threads on how bad the glyco stock has been of late. concerned about ordering through our host or other suppliers due to the fact that tales of ordering multiple sets and poaching the best units and sending back the others...

i am being told that as with the rod bearings, a set of the 04-06 gt3 main bearing will drop in and work. the crank was in good enough shape to just be polish, balanced, plugs pulled and will not be cross drilled. has any of the brain trust here heard this option? at about 2x the cost of the standard 3.0l glycos, but a 1/3 of whats been suggested by sourcing them from a dealer.

any insight would be appreciated.
