I just recieved my rebuild kit from Howell, and i was reading the directions for the main bearing set and it says that i have to re-notch them because i have a 95. Can i do this myself or should i have a machine shop do the work for me? What all is involved and what tools would i need?

Buy another set of mains, use two sets of top halves for a full 360* oil groove. you'll get more oil to the rods and the rest of the bottom end this way, and that's a "Good Thing™".
I ran this way for a long time. Never had any issues with oil pressure, main bearing wear, or the entire bottom end until i blew it the fuck up two years later.

Just a bit of old info, but I just personally verified it:
There IS a topline bearing set for 95 blocks that matches up perfectly just like OEM. They have upper oiling holes and grooves, and the lower bearing is flat. You only need to buy one set. Part number for a 1995 is MBC26E
ECLIPSE 420A 1996cc(121.8")
MBC26E $39.00 (95) (This is the only aftermarket bearing specifically for 1995's) MBC26 $39.00 (96-99) (This is same part as Clevite MS-2028P and Federal-Mogul 7328M)
