I'm at work so I don't have the part #s in front of me but it sounds like you bought a Nascar crank and rods. Measure the rod width and if it is .080" wider than the LeMans rods you have now then they're Nascar. Nascar rods also came with the beams polished from the factory. The crank's rod journals are .080" wider an can only be used with the matching rods. Rod bearings are very difficult to find and I don't think they ever made any in .010" undersize. I think they were only available in standard, .001", .002" and .003" undersize and only available from Ford.
HTH,
