The bearings are spaced plenty far apart. Most teams that run 2 piece blocks (like 254) are counter boring the bearings anyway, yielding the same bearing spacing (or only .125" more).

The rigidity and concentrically advantage over most 2 piece blocks (as most 2 piece blocks don't adequately align to each other) is nice as well.
