    Hello all, I need some bearings for a street 455. Daily driven, slightly abusive. What is the best deal in town (or out of)?
    Thank you.

    The "online" price I'm getting from my local AutoZone:

    Clevite 77 rod bearings part #CB762P- $5.89ea x 8= $47.12

    Cleveite 77 main bearing set part #MS908P- $33.77

    Incidentally, they have a set of Badger (cast) pistons part #P528-K8 listed for $185.99

    that is a excellent price on bearings, i did some research because im looking for a commplete re ring kit, AUTO ZONE dosnot have rings and only head gaskets, if you bought the bearings, then the rest from POSTONS it looks like you would be about $240, POSTONS sells a complete re ring kit with street strip moly rings , and vally pan gasket for $250. just some info, does eneyone beat POSTONS kit price??

    Everybody sells rings, bearings and gakets. This stuff is widely and readily available. SP/FM Moly rings E-289K are $78 from Summit. Fel-Pro full gasket set FS8494PT is $ 64 from Advance, intake gasket MS96005 is $24 from Advance. Looks like $166 total.

    Summit Racing has the new 3/4 groove main bearings. Price is real reasonable.

    Hello all. I talked to Mike @ TA about bearings recently. I wanted to order the 3/4 grooved main bearings. I told him it would be for a daily driver that would hit the strip occasionally, and driven in a slightly abusive manner. He told me that the metal in the 3/4 grooved bearing is not for daily drivers, and I should buy regulalr bearings. I think he said the 3/4 grooved bearing is a harder metal, which is better for racing, but not for the street (I hope I did not get that backwards). FYI.

    You'll have to search on the part numbers above. They don't typically list low-volume items.

    What we could use is something like a Pricewatch.com for Buick parts!:Brow:
