390 Rod Bearing

I believe they have an offset to them. Make sure that you put the rods in the journals the right way. The chafer on the rod has to match the chafer on the crank or you can kiss your bearings goodby. That is what happened to my old 302. It was rebuild just before I bought the car. I put 1,200 miles on it and it took out 3 rod bearings. All the rods were on the wrong way. So make absolutely sure they are right!
