I need some input
Please...
I want everyone's honest opinion on this. Do you think Clevite 77 bearings are a good brand to use versus, say Sealed Power? I'm rebuilding a 400 to go into my truck and I can get the Clevite bearings from work. The mains I have to get from Summit though. No one else can get them. I have two cam kits picked out from Comp Cams. One is a 268H grind with .494 lift on the intake and exhaust with 218 duration on both. The other is .519 on the intake and exhaust with a duration of 224 on both intake and exhaust. Which kit would you most likely choose? Just trying to get some other opinions. Thanks all!!

Clevite is a good brand. I'd use them.
The cam selection is a little more iffy. You need to determine what you want the engine to do, then get a cam to do it. You may have to search around for the best one. I personally like a dual pattern cam. I have one in .484-.510 and it does well for a street- towing engine.
Don't pay much attention to the Chevy and Mopar guys when they talk about cams. You have big valves and ports which don't need as much cam.
