ACL Chevrolet V8 305-350-400 Race Series Narrowed .020 Conrod Rod Bearing Set

Already running a built V8 for your Chevrolet, Buick, or Cadillac? This set of ACL Race Series narrowed rod bearings is the next piece of the puzzle for a serious engine build. These bearings are specifically made for performance applications, featuring a narrowed design that gives you extra clearance in the crankshaft fillets. This is crucial when you're dealing with aftermarket crankshafts or stroker kits that might have tighter clearances than stock.

ACL has been making engine bearings for a long time, and their Race Series is well-built for the demands of high-performance engines. They use a tri-metal material that offers good strength and durability, designed to handle the increased loads and higher RPMs you'll see in a performance V8. This particular set is sized at .020 inch undersize, meaning it's meant to be used with a crankshaft that has been machined down by that amount to ensure a perfect fit and optimal oil clearance. When you're building an engine that needs to perform, getting the bearing clearances right is key, and these bearings help you achieve that.

This set includes bearings for a Chevrolet V8 engine with displacements of 305, 350, or 400 cubic inches. Make sure to confirm your crankshaft has been machined to a .020 inch undersize before ordering, as these are not a direct fit for a stock crankshaft. Proper installation and oil clearance are critical for engine longevity, so always refer to your engine build manual or a trusted mechanic for installation guidance.
