What does 'standard size' mean for these bearings?

Standard size bearings are meant to be installed on a crankshaft with factory-spec journals. If your crankshaft has been machined undersize due to wear or repair, you would need a different size bearing.

What other Ford engines do these bearings fit?

Besides the Mustang, these bearings are also listed for Ford 300 engines from 1963, Ford Country Sedan models from 1962-1963, Ford F-150s from 1975-1996, and Ford Fairmonts from 1980-1982.

Are these bearings sold individually or as a set?

Connecting rod bearings are always sold in sets. This set includes all the bearings needed for one engine's connecting rods.

Product Details

ACL has been making engine bearings for decades, and these connecting rod bearings for your Ford Mustang are one of their staples. These are standard size bearings designed for Ford V8 engines, specifically the 255, 289, and 302 cubic inch displacements, covering a wide range of years from 1962 through 1998. If you're rebuilding an engine or replacing worn bearings, these are a solid option to get your Ford V8 running smoothly again.

These bearings are well-built and made to precise tolerances, which is crucial for proper oil clearance and engine longevity. When you're installing new bearings, getting the oil clearance just right is key to preventing premature wear. ACL's reputation for producing reliable engine components means you can install these with confidence, knowing they'll perform as expected in your classic Mustang or other compatible Ford vehicle.

When you're doing an engine rebuild, it's always a good idea to check the crankshaft journals for any damage or out-of-round conditions before installing new bearings. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications and oil clearance guidelines during installation to ensure the best results.
