What Ford V8 engines does this bearing set fit?

This ACL connecting rod bearing set is designed for Ford's 255, 289, and 302 cubic inch V8 engines. It covers a broad range of production years from 1962 through 1998.

What is the purpose of connecting rod bearings?

Connecting rod bearings sit between the crankshaft and the connecting rod. They create a low-friction surface that allows the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank journal, crucial for engine operation and longevity.

Do these bearings come with installation instructions?

While this set includes the necessary bearings for your engine rebuild, it does not come with specific installation instructions. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for proper installation procedures, torque specifications, and oil clearance measurements.
