The Ford Barn

Hi all,

While in the process of rebuilding a 1946-1948 Ford flathead engine, my buddy and I have had a really tough time finding new bearings. Specifically, we are looking for (1) 81A6330-010 Main Bearing Set; and (2) 99A-6211-010 Rod Bearing Set. Does anyone have any recommendation as to who we might be able to contact to purchase these bearings?

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Just remember!!! When you get the rod bearings, they Must be "Fit" to the crank.

Ron is correct - you can't just throw the rod bearings in . . . you have to manually size/fit them - or they'll be ruined really fast.
