    I have this 4.750 stroke Bryant crank in my KB stage 10. I guess because of the stroke, the rod journals are chevy (smaller) although I run a chrysler rod machined for Chevy at the crank (Brooks B-2). My question is: I'd like to find the best rod bearing to buy for a screw blown application? I'm not finding a lot of options like for a Chrysler (V or M). Perhaps even in an oversize increment. What should the bearing clearance be? I've run Rodeck chevy's at .0035 and been fine.
    Also, this crank is a 3" main - any good suggestions on where and what kind of bearings there? Thank you.

    Federal Mogul 7200SHA for a babbitt BBC rod bearing(like a M for chrysler). Clevite 743V for a vandervell style BBC rod bearing(like a V for a chrysler).

    You probably have to chamfer the 743V clevites and drill the dowel holes since I don't think you can get them from C&A anymore.
