King Engine Bearings 55-67 Ford 265/283/302/327 V8 (Size 001) Performance Rod Bearing Set

Starting with a tri-metal copper-based material, these King Engine Bearings rod bearings are built for serious performance. They feature PMaxBlack technology, which is a unique overlay that significantly raises the load capacity of the bearing. This means they can handle more stress without failing, making them a solid choice for engines that see hard use or are being rebuilt for more power. The Radialock design also helps ensure optimal crush height during installation, which is crucial for proper bearing seating and oil clearance.

These bearings are specifically sized at 0.001 inch undersize, which is important when you're dealing with crankshaft journals that have been ground undersize during a rebuild. This set is designed to fit a wide range of popular V8 engines from the mid-50s through the late 60s, including Chevrolet 265, 283, 302, and 327 cubic inch small-block V8s, as well as many Buick and Avanti models from the same era. King has been specializing in engine bearings since 1960, focusing on supplying well-built components for a variety of applications.
