Which bearings to use?

Which bearings should we use with a Callies Dragon Slayer crank and Eagle H rods?

Clevite 77?

Federal Mogul?

H? P?

This motor will put out about 420+rwhp.

Re: Which bearings to use?

Gripenfelter,
Some builders like to use the the non "h" to make sure the bearings are damaged before the crank is. That about all I known. I will be going with 77h bearings tho. I had these in my all lunati 396 with no issues.

P.S.
I sent you an email to your hotmail account about your cam.

Have had good luck with both Clevite 77H, and King Alecular bearings. I've got King bearings in my stroker now with no trouble, and these are the same ones run on my friends bracket rail 406 SB spinning to around 8500 with no trouble round after round. They are very good. Not cheap, but good.

I had King bearings before.

The big debate at the shop right now is whether to go with H or P bearings and how long they would last.
