Can you use big block main and rod bearings on a forged crank? |

OK, then can somebody suggest a good set of bearings that you can actually buy? |

Calico Coatings They use your Mahle/Clevite number and put a high-performance coating on them. Will |

I won the "door prize" at a King Bearings seminar at the PRI show, several years ago. It was for a full engine bearing set. I blew the moderators mind when he asked what engine I wanted the bearings for, and I said "a 66 chrysler 170 slant six". He wasn't even sure they had those available, and would have to check. I did receive them a few weeks later. |

I have used King bearings, and sometimes buy old stock clevite/michigan stuff off ebay, when it's cheap. Lou |

King bearings has a listing for the forged crank, but no price and they not available anywhere. Speed Pro has a listing on the NAPA site, but you need to call for availability, at least they have a price. The reason I asked about the big block bearing is because there is a thread on using big block caps. If you can use the caps, you should be able to use the bearings. At least in my thinking anyways. |

I just got King bearings at Summit a couple months back? And I just saw them last week at the parts warehouse called Falcon Sales. They have them and lots of other Slant 6 stuff. PS. They are listed on Ebay right now also. |
