Clevite gobbled up Vandy bearing Co. In the past you could get the same Vandy material you just add V to the Clevite bearing part number and dropping the 'H" or "P".. For instance CB 745H becomes CB745V. BTW: CB745 is the SJ Chevy number. The "V" material formula is a little softer and more forgiving than the harder "H". It works well in applications that the crank flexes a lot and the oil film gets so thin the bearing bumps the crank. IE: 282-327 SJ Engines.
