Clevite Ford V8 221-255-260-289-302 1962-01 Con Rod Bearing Set

If you're rebuilding the engine in a classic Ford V8, or even a later model like an Explorer, you'll want to consider these Clevite connecting rod bearings. They're built for Ford engines with displacements from 221 up to 302 cubic inches, covering a wide range of applications from 1962 through 2001. These bearings are a crucial part of your engine's rotating assembly, sitting between the connecting rod and the crankshaft to allow for smooth rotation while handling immense forces.

Clevite uses a bi-metal construction with a lead-free aluminum silicon alloy. What's notable here is that they incorporate 60% more silicon than many other bearings. This added silicon helps to condition the crankshaft journal surfaces, which in turn leads to better resistance against seizure and wear. This means your new bearings are more likely to last and keep your engine running smoothly for longer.

This set is designed as a direct fit for many Ford V8 applications, including popular models like the F-150, Bronco, and Explorer. When you're putting an engine back together, using well-built components like these Clevite bearings is key to a reliable rebuild.
