The reason for this this idea is twofold:
1. to increase and utilize the bearing support surface.
2. CW MOSS reports that the repro. bearings are of low quality and they won't sell them. Therefore, I was thinking using 2 good condition used Ford bearings would be a safe bet.

Call Mac VP. When were there for his class, he was selling NOS GM rollers that are the same as Ford, except one of the set was longer that the Ford units I believe. He told us how to make it work and I believe it's what he uses in his builds.
This may be a good option since they are USA-made quality bearings, so no need to worry about good enough used.
Just a thought.
