Main bearing caps for these engines are not available replacement parts. The only way you could obtain one is to find someone with a V-6 block that is no longer salvageable. And then, after you find your rear main bearing cap, you would have to have your block line bored to match the main cap to your block. Bearing caps are not interchangeable from block to block, due to variables in the original casting and machining processes.
