I've used clevite 77 for years. They can handle just about everything. What I would suggest because you use the engine for racing. Is invest in ARP main studs and rod bolts. Also have the engine internally balanced. It reduces the crank vibration, improves throttle response through out the RPM band. What type of racing do you do?

where is the website for the parts

The rod bolts and main studs are from www.arp-bolts.com. The rest is machine work. You would need to locate a reputable machine shop to do the rest.

Was the crank measured? If so and parts store should have it. If you have the crank machined they should include bearings it.
