Paul,

Is it feasible to use a solid case, instead of a split case using inside
snap rings to separate the rotating elements?

In theory yes because the rear flange is bolted on.

But given what I little I know about overhauling
piston engines bearing shells halves are a bit over size so when you torque
the case bolts... the shells compressed slightly and  are held securely in place.

All you piston engine guys out there chime in on this.

The other problem is the oil slinger near the front of the shaft
but there is a work around for that.
