Probably just need a dose of that elixir you take!Barely above ground....and that's what I feel like today after putting in new rear control arms in yesterday.
They are the same as a big block rod.
Thank you James and Jeff. It is an Eagle 4" stroker crank. I'll see if there are any notes on the paperwork or reach out to them.Like James said, 348, 409 and BBC use the same rod bearing. HOWEVER, if you have a stroker crank it may have a larger radius on the journals.
If it's a modified 454 crank (stock crank with reground mains) it should use regular 409/BBC rod bearings (Clevite CB743P). If it is an aftermarket 4"/409 crank it may require chamfered or narrowed rod bearings. You would have to check with the crank vendor.

There you go. That will require chamfered or narrowed bearings. 20 years ago when I was regularly building engines, you bought "chamfered" bearings for this situation. Not sure but I think they sell "narrowed" bearings these days to accomplish the same end result. At least I think that's what Clevite does. I just put Tooth's new bullet together with some chamfered FM/Speed Pro bearings I had on the shelf.The crank description says the radius is .125".
