Engine Rebuild Kit

Id like to rebuild my 400 and I was looking at rebuild kits and it asks what size Rod Bearings and Main Bearings.

How do I know which size I need?

The size required for your rod and main bearings is determined by the amount that your crankshaft is cut undersize. The bearing has to be sized to take up the extra space. If your crank is -0.010" on the rod journal, then you need 0.010" oversize bearings. The same is true for the crank journal.
