Default LSX iron block- a few q's

Those of you with LSX block buildup experiences, I have a few questions:
1. I see the bare blocks come with cam plate, front and rear covers, cam bearings, but doesnt indicate if comes with oil galley plugs, barbell oil galley plug, etc. Do they come with these items too?
2. The cam bearings that come with block, what brand? I prefer Durabond, and scoggin dickey catalog shows a Durabond bearing set for the LSX block but when I type in the part number online at sdpc it comes up invalid.
3. any other idiosyncracies regarding this block I should know? I am ordering one asap.
Thanks

Robert

I recently bought a new crate LSX block. It came with the same things. I am not using the bearings, as I want a coated set of bearings.
