Sorry, I don't mean to split hairs with you but an engine with "updated parts" is not "an engine that matches what the car originally came with." I would imagine that the engine block's casting or milling has to be different in order for the oversized bearing to fit. So, no, it doesn't match what the car came with.
I only mentioned it so if the OP someday decides to service the IMSB they will know NOT to rely on what the car originally came with, as I did.
