Product Details

These Clevite main bearings are built with a tri-metal construction, a popular choice for its durability and ability to handle the stresses of an engine's rotating assembly. They are designed to provide a precise fit for the crankshaft within the engine block, which is crucial for maintaining proper oil clearance and reducing friction. This set is specifically made for Ford FE engines, including the 330, 352, 361, 390, 391, and 427 V8s from the 1964 and 1965 model years.

When you're rebuilding or refreshing an engine from this era, getting the main bearings right is key to a long-lasting build. Clevite uses a combination of materials that offer good embeddability for small debris and a strong overlay to resist wear. This means they can handle the constant load and heat generated during operation, helping to keep your crankshaft spinning smoothly and within its intended tolerances. This set is a solid option for anyone working on these classic Ford V8s, ensuring the foundation of your engine is well-supported.

This set fits a range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from 1964 and 1965, including models like the Ford Fairlane, Galaxie, and Mercury Monterey. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific application.
