I've used NDC's, FedMogul over 500rwhp with no issues, my Crank shop said NOT to use the ACL's for that power level as they don't do M engine bearings in the Race series and the garden variety have delamination issues.

Can't comment on others apart from I personally WOULDN'T use King bearings ever.

Clevite is mostly NDC in the std size and some undersize sets are fed-mog. Both are a good bearing. I would not used any other bearing but a clevite in any motor I build. The ndc std size clevite bearing are used in the worlds most powerfull 7m and the bearings look new still after many passes.

Been some reports of ACL's found in 77 boxes recently Rich, NDC's are a great bearing never had an issue with them that wasn't my fault and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

What I do have an issue with is if you're paying a premium for 77 technology which the NDC's just don't have, here at least NDC's in NDC boxes are cheaper than in 77 boxes don't know about there though.

Have not seen those ACL clevites yet, but lots of fed-mog. Mostly in the undersizes. I posted a pic too a while back of how the difference between the Australian NDC mains and Japan NDC mains differ. Ever since Mahle purchased clevite they have been using mosty the coated japan ndc mains. Whats next for Clevite?

NO

it was sarcasm, Clevites will be a mystery box but they seem to be selecting from the higher end so will suit your 300rwhp goal, anyone going higher than that I'd suggest finding genuine NDC's as the ACL's aren't a good choice as they don't do their race series for M engines.

What about Toyota bearings. I just ordered the 6 STD size bearings I needed, should I use the NDC bearings instead? I'll be going for 500whp
