Default Looking for 151M STD or King MB5849HP 455 main bearings

Hey guys,

I have a 455 build in process and can't seem to find and standard Federal Mogul 151M or King MB5849HP 3/4 groove main bearings. Stupid supply chain issues...

If someone had a set available, that would be most wonderful.

Thanks,

Brent

Never realized until recently but undersized bearings can be shaved to fit. (Not a perfect world...)

Thanks for the reply guys. I will discuss these options with my machinist. The 151M and MB5849HP bearings are well suited to use with a cast steel crank so I might be stuck waiting.

I found 8 sets of the Sealed Power 151M bearings for anyone that's looking. Well, 9 sets before placing my order. Check local availability, Joliet IL store specifically. Hopefully this information is helpful.
