Quick 3.1 cam bearing question

[DefEddie]

Just want to make sure the wide SBC bearing's are the same in the 3.1 as the 31/3400 roller motors.
I know the cams swap between,so I imagine they are the same.
I'm ordering some coated Clevite bearings and wanted to make positive as everything i've searched here only refers to the roller motors that i've found.
They do come up under the WOT 2.8/3.1 options,but it also says they are to support roller cam profiles.
I'm not using a roller cam,but with the flat tappet i'll feel better with a bit more bearing surface and the extra protection on startup since i'm using the most aggressive off the shelf profile.
Thanks for any help,I don't have a roller motor here to compare with,only 2.8/3.1 and 3.4 non rollers.

It will be the same. I thought you said they weren't there in the 2.8/3.1, but misread. The flat tappet uses the same bearings as the roller cams. A bearing made to withstand a roller can and heavy springs (for a V8, so much stiffer than we will use) is going to work for a flat tappet 60V6 as well.

Thanks,the added clarification would be appreciated.
Any chance you'll begin carrying the Clevite bearings also?
I prefer the tri-metal composition of the Clevites to the babbit/bi-metal composition of the Dura-Bond's.
In case you haven't been told today,your help in furthuring the 60* cause is appreciated.

I did the same on my 3.1L build. They work perfect.

After doing some research with my buddy that is helping with the machine work (NHRA machine shop) we've decided to actually stick to the stock bearing's.
He noticed no difference in stocker and NHRA motors with the coated bearings,and I don't want to drill the second oiling hole in the #1 bearing that the SBC's don't have.
We're both pretty sure it will be fine without it,but going with stock anyway.
