Are they currently standard or oversized? Will you be grinding the crank? To what size?

It looks like Egge Machine would have anything you might need. Find them online at EGGE.com
I called an order in recently and they were very helpful. I have no idea what shipping might be for you.
f you use their search engine, when you get to model, select "FORD" - not Ford truck. That's where you will find parts for the 226 L6 that you have.
Good luck!

I rebuilt the 226 in my F-2 about two years ago. I got the bearing from Falcon Performance. I also got the pistons, rings, valves and valve guides from them. I dealt with a guy named Scott, very helpful. They sell on eBay and also from their website.
