I am in the process of building a B with a Yapp Riley OHV. The much larger bearing size is the plus I can't ignore. After all the larger bearings were Ford's idea.
Cracking comes from overheating. During the last eighty some odd years cars were used and abused. These days owners of our fine Fords don't subject them to the abuse they suffered in the past. Better cooling systems kept clean and rust free help a lot.
