Product Description

The ACL 8B1442H-STD Race Series rod bearing set is engineered for Ford's 4.6L and 5.4L modular V8 engines, including the 5.4L Supercharged variant and 5.0L Coyote, offering better fatigue resistance and retention than standard OEM bearings under high RPM and high-load conditions. The tri-metal F781 construction combines a high-strength overlay plate with hardened steel backs for durability in performance builds.

This standard-size set is designed for use with OE crankshafts running unmachined, factory-spec rod journals, making it a solid fit for Mustang, F-150, and other Ford modular V8 platforms undergoing a rebuild or performance upgrade. Improved heat transfer, oil distribution, and bearing crush help the set hold up reliably under sustained high-performance use.
