I just replaced mine as well, and didn't know how to choose when confronted with stock or 'race' type King bearings.
I called these people to verify type of bearings. The guy explained the variables, and I ended up buying stock for my roughly 400hp engine.

I'm about to purchase some rod bearing myself. Was looking at Clevite but I think I'll take a look at the kKng bearings.
If you want an easy and inexpensive way to check bearing clearance get some plastigage. They sell it at summit and I'm sure a bunch of other shops. It's a plastic wire that you install between the bearing and the journal during a dry fit. The plastic squishes flat and it comes with a gauge that relates the width of the squished plastic to a diametral clearance.

Keep in mind, with plastigauge, it is only accurate to the thousandth. Your not going to be able to tell if you have .002 oil clearance or .0027.
Best way is to take everything to a machine shop including bearings, and have them set it up to your desired oil clearances.

Im using the clevite coated "hk" bearings in my turbo build. I priced buying their standard bearings and sending the to swain to have them coated (same coating) and the savings where minimal. part number: CB663HNK

A lot of engine builders, high end engine builders are using King bearings lately, so that must say something for the brand, if they're good enough to go in $4-8k engines.

If it's that expensive for a crate engine, rebuild it yourself.
