Filled stock block, aftermarket steel main caps, maybe a girdle (clearance issues with center link if we don't raise the engine slightly; need a new motor plate if we do), flat-top pistons for 12-1 compression with 440-1 heads. Should I buy a kit from Scat, 440 Source, Eagle, or piece together an assembly using a Scat crank, Manley rods, JE pistons? Any suggestions if I piece together a kit or what should I look out for in the preassembled kits? 2012 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2013 422 Allstars NSS Champion 2014 422 Allstars NSS Champion

I think its only the main bearings in a b-block you have to bevel.As the limited main bearing choices.

Don't mean to start one of those 'internet pissing matches', but I can tell ya' that the Source cranks don't always work without chamfering the bearings just because you use the narrow ones (Clevite 743HN - what they provided in my kit). Unless you're using something else - if so, please share the info; I'll be happy to install a different part if it's a 'drop in' whenever I freshen the motor! -Bill Seduce the attractive, and charm the rest. ****** 489 C.I.D., roller cam, aftermarket heads, tunnel ram, stock '54 Dodge rear axle assembly: which of these doesn't belong?

I have a 440Source crank in my 505 and the bearings fit fine right out of the box. what are the right bearings andy? i have a B engine & have to chamfer both the mains & the rods to fit mine. luckily i've done this a few times now & generally get the right amount of bevel first time, but it still takes time getting it right.
