ACL **Coated** Chevrolet V8 396-402-427-454 Race Series Engine Connecting Rod Bearing Set

When you're rebuilding a performance Chevrolet V8, especially one of the big blocks like the 396, 402, 427, or 454, the connecting rod bearings are critical. These ACL Race Series bearings are built to handle the extra stress that comes with a performance build. They're a standard size, meaning they're meant to fit a crankshaft that hasn't been machined undersize.

What sets these apart is the special coating ACL applies. This isn't just for looks; it helps reduce friction and wear, especially during the critical break-in period and under high-load conditions. This coating also helps maintain oil film thickness, which is vital for keeping those rods spinning smoothly under pressure. They're made with a tri-metal overlay, a common feature in performance bearings, offering a good balance of strength and conformability to the crankshaft journal.

These bearings are designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles from the mid-60s through the mid-70s, including popular models like the Impala, Chevelle, Camaro, and Corvette, as well as many C/K series trucks and G-series vans. If you're putting together a performance engine, these bearings are a solid choice to ensure reliability and longevity.
