Product Details

Clevite is known for making solid engine bearings, and this P-Series connecting rod bearing set is a popular choice for rebuilding V8 engines. If you're working on a Chrysler 383, 400, or 440 from 1958 through 1980, these bearings are designed to fit right in. They're a versatile replacement that works well for many OE applications, but they really shine when you anticipate more demanding use, like in street performance builds or heavy-duty situations.

What sets these apart is the TriMetal design. It gives these bearings a higher load capacity compared to standard BiMetal bearings, making them a good upgrade. This means they can handle more stress and wear better over time, especially in engines that are pushed a bit harder. They are well-built to handle the rigors of performance or heavy-duty operation.

This set is designed for a range of Chrysler V8s, including popular models like the Dodge Charger, Chrysler New Yorker, and Dodge D100 Pickup. When you're rebuilding an engine, getting the right bearings is crucial for longevity and performance.
