Detroit 6v-53 questions

Hey guys, still working a deal on a pair of trucks both having 6v-53's in them and I got to thinking that i did not know a lot about them. One thing in particular is ... are they Even or ODD fire? yeah I know we don't think of diesels like that but ...a 6 cylinder 90 degree firing order does not break up nicely on a shared rod journal ( chevy 90 degree V6's fell into two categories even and odd fire... even fires had offset rod journals odd fires had shared journals like the V-8) so do the detroit "V" engines share rod journals or are they all separate? how many main bearings do they have ?

too much time to think
Dan
