cam bearings problem

I've run myself into quite a pickle here so maybe someone can explain how this happened to me. I was installing some brand new straight out of Sumitt camshaft bearings and I put the first three in no problems everything was normal but both the last two (front two) bearings are loose, and I don't mean they went in a little easier that the others, I mean I was able to put them in with my fingers alone. How is it possible that two of them don't fit? I assume the actual chambers are to blame but how could they get so out of wack? I'm so confused. :banghead:

I think you got wrong parts. All 350s should have the same bearings unless (for some odd reason) the cam registers were bored way out to repair some damage.
Contact Summit and they'll confirm that there should only be one kit for an SBC. Maybe there are part numbers on the bearings that they could cross reference?
