you cant go wrong with Clevite bearings, they are an industry staple. what pistons are you running? Sealed Power are good as well as Manley if they have them for your piston application.

the build that im doing for a friend right now we are using Manley pistons and H Beam Rods, and got Manley rings and generic Clevite 77 bearings. were using all ARP studs and OEM gaskets. nothing too complicated, just proven parts that work.
