ACL Chevrolet V8 396-402-427-454 Race Series Narrowed with Dowel Engine Connecting Rod Bearing Set

Rebuilding the bottom end of your classic Chevrolet V8? These ACL Race Series connecting rod bearings are a solid choice for engines like the 396, 402, 427, and 454. They're designed to handle the demands of performance builds, offering improved oil clearance and durability over stock bearings.

ACL has a reputation for making well-built engine bearings, and this set is no exception. The Race Series features a special overlay material that's tough and resistant to wear, which is crucial when you're pushing an engine hard. The narrowed design helps ensure proper clearance, especially important with aftermarket crankshafts, and the included dowels help with precise alignment during installation. This set is standard size, so it's meant to be used with a crankshaft that hasn't been machined undersize.

When you're putting together a performance engine, the details matter. These ACL bearings are a popular option for builders looking for reliable performance and a good balance of clearance and load capacity. Make sure your crankshaft journals are clean and within spec before installing these bearings.
