ACL Bearings 8B960P-40 Connecting Rod Bearing Set 0.040" Oversize AMC Jeep V8

The ACL Bearings 8B960P-40 is a high-performance connecting rod bearing set designed specifically for AMC and Jeep V8 engines including 304, 343, and 360 cubic inch applications from 1966-1991. This 0.040" oversize bearing set is engineered to deliver superior durability and performance in demanding engine builds and rebuilds.

Advanced Tri-Metal Construction:

ACL's proprietary tri-metal design features a copper/lead/alloy composition combined with a steel backing, providing exceptional wear resistance, outstanding strength, and excellent load-carrying characteristics that make these bearings ideal for performance engines and high-stress operating conditions.

Race-Proven Engineering Features:

• High-strength overlay plate with reduced thickness for improved fatigue properties
• Hardened steel backs on all rod bearings to improve bearing liner support and assist with bearing retention in the housing
• Elimination of flash plating on the back of bearings to improve heat transfer and maximize grip between bearings and housing
• Increased eccentricity to compensate for bore distortion at high RPM and aid in hydrodynamic oil film formation
• Tight, consistent wall tolerances to help maintain uniform clearances

ACL Race Series Connecting Rod Bearings bring race-tested durability, precision engineering, and state-of-the-art metallurgy to your high-performance build. Whether you're building a street engine, performance application, or full race motor, these bearings deliver reliable performance under extreme conditions.
