I wasn't able to find any 400 mains in +/-0.001" sizes. I used the chamfered Clevites that Hughes sells. Had to get a second set(0.010" under) when I couldn't get much more than 0.0025" clearance on the std mains. King makes a 400 main bearing, but they steered me to Clevites when I told them I'd be using a decent amount of nitrous. They said their bearings don't provide enough support for a nitrous application.

To clarify....not ALL King bearings, just the series they offer for a low deck Mopar!
