Main Bearing Question


I am buying new main bearings for my 96-98 Teksid block with standard size crank journals and am almost positive these are the correct bearings but just want a second opinion. Speed Pro Z149M - Federal Mogul Main Bearing Sets - Overview - SummitRacing.com

I would never buy federal mogul anything. Get clevite tri armor Teflon coated bearings.

Call up clevite and ask. They will give you the right number.

Just did some more research on bearings and am glad I didn't buy either of these, found some very good resources from Clevite and their bearing guide has got me pointed in the right direction. Need to get my bearing clearances stuff figured out now.
