Not to be confused with standard "passenger" car bearings, Clevite's P-Series is their oldest line of premium high-performance bearings
Specifically for 302-305-327-350 S/B Chevy "Large Journal" engines built from 1969-Up (with 2.100" rod journal)
Use P-Series rod bearings where extremely high RPMÆs cause severe rod bore close-in.
Large Journal
Use P-Series main bearings where higher eccentricity is desired to narrow bearing contact patterns and to provide increased oiling to rod bearings
Note:Will not work with 400 c.i. V-8

Two-Barrel Carb to a Four: Upgrading your Chevy 350's stock two-barrel carburetor to a four-barrel, like a Holley 650 double pumper, is a great way to add more horsepower. This swap increases air and fuel intake, directly translating to more power.
