Main/Rod Bearings?
 
I am rebuilding a small block chevy (87+ 1 piece rear main style) out of a 1997 K1500. Crank was polished. Running the CC 276HR cam (5,500-5,600ish should be the maximum RPM). Also setting it up to get sprayed with a 100 shot occasionally.


Anybody have any suggestions on what brand bearings to go with? Or what material?

If anybody wants to be really cool and provide me a link or part number, here's a link to summit's SBC main bearings:

And here's one to summit's SBC rod bearings:

Edit:
This is my first assembly from bare block. I've done heads/cam before but I'm new to this.

Clevite and King are the two brands I'd use.

Alright, thanks. Could have sworn the machine shop said he prefers Clevite but I could be mistaking. What effect do the different bearing materials have?
