About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the bottom end of a classic Chevrolet V8, like a 265, 283, 302, or 327, these Clevite connecting rod bearings are a solid option. They're designed to fit a wide range of Chevrolet vehicles from 1955 through 2002, including popular models like the Corvette, Impala, and Camaro. These bearings are crucial for allowing the crankshaft to spin smoothly within the connecting rods, and their condition directly impacts engine health and longevity.

Clevite uses a BiMetal construction with 100% lead-free aluminum silicon. This material is well-built with 60% more silicon than many other bearings, which helps to condition the journal surfaces they run against. This improved surface conditioning leads to better resistance against seizing and wear, helping your engine run reliably for longer.
