I got a pretty quick response to my inquiry: I think you have been told some information that's not totally correct.
We are not exiting the Mopar bearing business. In fact some of our highest volume parts are Mopar based bearings.

I purchase dozens of sets of bearings every week. Just like everything else these days everything is on back order. What was once a shelf item now takes up to 12-14 weeks to get. Even with planning ahead, we still can't get enough product in to fill the demand. It's not just Mahle/Clevite. It's everyone.

I have been running King bearings in my 440's and Hemi's with no issues. We have also been using hundreds of sets of Kings in all of our other crate, custom and racing engine build applications with no issues. Seems to be the equivalent to Clevites. Or even better.

That's good to hear as I couldn't get the Clevites for my stroker in .001 under so we ordered some King's. I was a little nervous.

What part number main bearings do you typically use? MB5116XP MB5116HP Do you typically need an extra clearance bearing to get about 0.0030" clearance? i.e. for a crank with 2.7492" journal dia. i.e. STDX bearings

I have been running the MS-1277HG main bearings in my race motors for years. But I don't see any -10 under on Summit's site right now. My new motor is standard size (new Callies crank), so it is not an issue for this build.
