Product Description
Genuine Johnson FD-600CP X2 Connecting Rod Bearing Set (NORS)
Precision-engineered for heavy-duty and luxury applications, this premium NORS (New Old Replacement Stock) Rod Bearing Set by Johnson is designed for the Lincoln-style "Y-Block" V8 engine family. This set covers a wide range of displacements from the 279 cubic inch workhorse up to the massive 368 cubic inch luxury powerplant. These engines served as the backbone of Ford's "Big Job" heavy truck series and powered legendary Lincoln models like the Capri and Premiere, as well as the Mercury Turnpike Cruiser. Proudly made in the USA, these bearings are essential for restoring proper crankshaft journal protection and maintaining stable oil pressure in vintage overhead-valve builds. Finished to a .002" (X2) undersize, these bearings are an ideal choice for addressing minor crankshaft journal wear or achieving precision oil clearances during a professional-grade engine overhaul.

Note on Stock Photos: Due to our inventory of multiple identical units for this specific part number, we utilize representative stock photos for this listing. You will receive a component that strictly meets all listed specifications and fitment requirements. Please be aware that because these are vintage parts, minor cosmetic variations—such as surface finish, color, or production markings—may exist between different manufacturing runs. These slight aesthetic differences are a result of historical production processes and do not impact the part's integrity, performance, or authenticity.
A Note on Fitment Accuracy: We manually research and cross-reference our fitment data using vintage manufacturer catalogs. While we strive for 100% accuracy, these decades-old resources—and the humans reading them—can occasionally contain errors. Additionally, these parts may fit other vehicles and years not explicitly listed in our data. To ensure a seamless restoration, we kindly ask that you perform your own due diligence and verify that this specific part number is correct for your application prior to purchase.
