Are the crank journals standard or undersize?

You need to know for sure before you buy the wrong bearings.

Clevite (you'll need the "H" series) makes a fine bearing although I prefer King Alecular.

brgs

There is nothing wrong with the Clevite's if they have a "H" in the part number otherwise the ones you have will not take the abuse. The King brgs are great, but high $$$$.
If they don't have an H take them back and get the "H" series brg.
