Clevite Chrysler 350 361 383 400 413 426 440 H/P V8 1958-80 Con Rod Bearing Set

This set includes Clevite H-Series performance connecting rod bearings, designed for Chrysler V8 engines like the 350, 361, 383, 400, 413, 426, and 440. These bearings are built with a hardened steel back and a thin overlay, and they are made without flash plating to ensure better seating against the crankshaft. They fit a wide range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles from 1958 through 1980, including models like the Dodge Charger, Chrysler New Yorker, and Plymouth Barracuda.

The H-Series bearings feature a medium level of eccentricity and high crush, which helps them maintain proper oil clearance and load-carrying capacity, especially in engines that operate in the medium to high RPM range. They are recommended for use with crankshafts that have oversize fillets, a common feature in performance-oriented or rebuilt V8 engines from this era. The lack of flash plating is a deliberate design choice to promote a more solid mechanical bond between the bearing and the connecting rod, reducing the risk of premature failure under stress.
