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

King Engine Bearings is well-known for making solid engine components, and this performance rod bearing set is no exception. If you're rebuilding a classic GMC or Chevrolet small-block V8 from the mid-50s to late-60s, these bearings are built to handle the demands of performance use. They fit a wide range of engines like the 265, 283, 302, and 327 cubic inch V8s found in vehicles from the Chevrolet Bel Air to the Buick Century.

This particular set is from King's Alecular racing line, which uses a bi-metal construction designed for higher loads and RPMs than standard bearings. They are 0.001 inches undersize, which is important to note if you're machining your crankshaft. This size is often used when a crankshaft has been ground undersize to clean up wear or to achieve a specific clearance.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially one that's going to see spirited driving, getting the bearing clearances right is crucial for oil pressure and longevity. These bearings offer a well-built option for that critical job.
