I wonder if the 308 bearing has the groove for the snap ring? Maybe that is what the SG stands for? Strange about the lack of information on the web concerning these bearings.

Here is the information that's on the bearings I got from Brewer's a few years ago.

SKF - BB1-1308 NRVBEF2 - USA - FA 14 345X




the 308 has the snapring groove , I don't think the overall bearing is as wide as the SG , I have a bearing spec catolog at work , I'll look at it tomorrow and see what it says. I rebuilt my first hemi 4 spd using the regular 308 15 yrs ago , didn't know there was a difference. I did end up selling it to a guy that just flipped it so I never heard if there was any problems with it ?
