Bearing Sizes and Forged Short Block

[Zal3v]

Sorry. Took me a while to find the old box tops.
Yes. Clevite Chamfered 4.6 Main Bearings #MS2259H

Thank you so much. I wanted to be sure because Eagle sells there main bearings which is part number
EAG-CMS2259H0 but they have conflicting information. On their site they said these bearings are machined by Eagle with the correct chamfer because off the shelf bearings won’t have enough clearance. Then I’m hearing this MS2259H will work out of the box. Man I dunno but I do get frustrated when these companies can’t get their crap straight. Maybe I should just buy em from Eagle to avoid any headaches, machine shop gave me a time estimate of 3 months to do the work and assemble the short block.
Sucks but worth the wait since they are the shop all the high performance places use here in Houston.

It makes sense that Eagle would sell set of bearings matched to their crank. One stop shopping so to speak. They can order bearings from Clevite (Mahle) and slap their own label on the box. I don’t think Eagle machines the bearings at all. Clevite advertises the H series bearings as hi load steel shell bearings that are Chamfered for crank shafts with radiused fillets. Just what is needed. King Bearings has a line of Chamfered bearings as well.

Perhaps I should go with the Clevites directly then because Eagle taxing on those bearings lol

Perhaps this will be of some help. After assembling the engine I put the stock Ford crank in the Eagle box and parked it on a shelf in my shed. I also put the stock bearings in the Clevite box and put it in with the crank. Here is a pic. of that box.

Wow so that is the one and the part number offered by Eagle. Thanks so much this really helps. It seals the deal for me to just go ahead and grab that Eagle Clevite version.
I really appreciate you and the OP for starting this thread. I’ll let you know how the build turns out in a few months.
