Default Main and rod bearings??

So many to choose from! I'll be using the stock crank and callies rods on this boosted 6l. Should be around the 600 mark daily and shooting for the 1000mark on those spirited days. I see some people say stock bearing others say kings and sealed power. Is it the same sealed power bearings from autozone? Help me out here please.

My 370 had ACL main and rod bearings in it which looked good when torn down. I decided to go back with King HP rod bearings and King SI main bearings on the rebuild using K1 rods on a stock crank.

There are a few more (and some of the same) suggestions in this thread: https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...-boost-519316/

Brian tooley has the king xp bearings for a good price. I may go with those. They are a tri-metal bearing.
