Yes, you can get engine main and conn-rod bearings from many marine engine rebuilder, maybe even this site. try google.com and type, Marine engines, hit search.

Have never seen a rebuild kit for these engines; marine market so small I doubt they even exist, however, most good auto part stores can get what you need.

Do you know were to get the engine specs. The marine version is 3.0 but chevy didn't have a 3.0 liter in '78 they had a 2.5 liter (both same block) So I am assuming it has been bored among other things to make it a 3.0. If I had that info I could get the kit from an auto parts store.
Ayuh,... The 3.0l has a Longer Stroke,+ Bigger Bore...
The 2.5l used in Chevy/ GM cars is NOT the same motor, nor the Same Block....
The 2.5l,+ the 3.0l used in boats, is only a Marine/ Industrial motor...
I believe that Napa has a wire aray of rebuid parts for the 4cyl. try thier marine catalog. My Napa gave me a catalog try your local store and they usually are more than helpfull.
rebuilt my 3 litre over the winter 30th over speed pro flat top pistons , bought from summit racing felpro # 17000 head gasket rod bearings are your std. gm 350 mains are same .you might have to have your crank turned or polished. good luck
