Bearing selection

[90stangGT]

Being currently in the middle of my motor build, it is time to pick some bearings. I've talked to a few knowledgeable locals. I'm aware of the different types of bearings, P, H, V etc. A good friend of mine recommended that I choose the V bearings, softer, due to the fact that I'm going with a used standard crank or one thats cut 10. He uses Clevite V bearings in his race car and has never spun a single one, continued to say that they should handle 7000 rpm, not that I will ever go there. Well, if anybody has opinions on bearing type selection please post it here and tell me why.

I can't remember which ones I used but they were Clevite. Sometimes it helps to talk to the tech rep at the manufacturer to determine which one is the best part for you.
