Ill get you the part no's this evening if you want, have them all saved from doing mine - most of my bit came from paddocks
To determine the actual bearing size youll have to have the old ones out , as they may already be oversized if the crank has been ground, likewise if it needs doing again you will need some larger still, so will have to wait till its done

Engine out job to do the mains and big ends though ....i think
How bad do they look? if you've caught it early enough may avoid a crank regrind
Head gaskets aren't to bad and a common V8 issue, so long as the heads are still flat (being aluminium they like distorting) (though access doesnt look brilliant with the wings on ...but if its out to do the bearings that should be ok)
