Hey guys, Im trying to find chevy rod bearings for my 84mm crankshaft. Cip does not carry them. Any suggestions? Thanks Brian.

Not DVKK (lately that doesn't really seem to matter) but I used clevite 77 part# 610P's. You need to clearance the edges for the radius on the journal cheeks but that was only a 4-5 beer job :D using an exacto knife, then jiffy marker the area, torque them onto the crank and rotate to see if you took enough off, repeat if needed.....hence needing the 6 pack ;)
In my extensive poking and prodding for info on this build I was told that clevite 745hn's are the shit (better material and teflon coated I think...look them up) and you don't need to modify them like the 610p's.
Or I think it was alan u that reccomended the calico ones.
