Hi.
I am building an engine in Norway.
Its a 2332cc with turbo and intercooler, the set up is for 500hp.

In my Autolinea/rimco supercase i have all 411 mains.
My DPR 84mm crank has also all 411 main journals.

Where do i get the main bearings of best quality that fits this combo?

Buy several sets.... You will get used to changing them. Clevite77 rod bearings too... No matter the brand....500 hp will trash them frequently.

Why didn't you leave the bearing saddles in the case stock and just go with the BMW bearing conversion. Those bearings are t1 outer and 411 inner steel back bearing.

For my engine i will be using a TF1 case with the BMW conversion.
