Oem/king/acl/ engine bearings ???

Doing a built bottom end, decked block etc
Trying to choose bottom end bearings.
Curious if any of you guys have had any experience with king or acl mains and rod bearings in a high horsepower engine build. Or shouldn’t I just stick to Oem bearings?

King bearings is what was used on my car. Main and rods. If you are just doing factory NA, just use stock.

I built my bottom end stock crank with BC rods. Both main and rod King standard bearings. According to my plastigauge readings the clearances were on point for both.

I have ACL Race Series bearings in my LS swap. The shop where my car is uses them on monster builds.

I haven't heard anything bad about King.
