Product Information

King Engine Bearings makes this performance main bearing set for the V8 4.6L/5.4L, cut to standard (STD) size. It is spec'd for the 2011-2012 Ford Mustang GT500. Main bearings are the wear surface between the crank and the block, the kind of part you touch during a bottom-end build or a bearing clearance check.

Why Upgrade to a Performance Main Bearing Set

  • A performance-spec main bearing set from King Engine Bearings, built for the V8 4.6L/5.4L.
  • Cut to standard (STD) size, the sizing King lists for part number MB5280HP.
  • Spec'd specifically to the 2011-2012 Ford Mustang GT500, not the wider 4.6L/5.4L Ford lineup this engine family covers.
  • [VERIFY: what King's "performance" designation changes versus a standard-line bearing here, material, coating, clearance spec. Source copy does not say.]

Fitment Notes

This bearing set is spec'd for the 2011-2012 Ford Mustang GT500. It does not fit the Mustang Boss 302, GT, or V6, and per the title, it does not fit the 2013-2014 GT500 either.

Install and Honest Talk

King's listing here is the part ID only: brand, application, and standard size. There are no bearing clearance numbers, torque specs, or install steps in the source copy, so this is a part you spec into a bottom-end job with your own clearance check, not something you drop in blind. [VERIFY: bearing clearance spec, torque sequence, and whether this size fits a stock crank or a machined one.]

A main bearing swap means the bottom end is open, which is a machine-shop or experienced-builder job, not a quick swap. What else you need: check the included instructions and your machinist's spec sheet for clearance and torque, since this listing does not cover them.

No Robots. Just Car People.

Buying parts for your Mustang or F-150 should not feel like homework. Too many stores bury you in a giant catalog, slap the same distributor description on every product, and leave you guessing whether it even fits.


We do it the other way. We carry the brands you already trust, we tell you what a part actually does, and we give you the truth about the tradeoffs before you spend a dollar. Drone on that exhaust. Ride quality on those springs. Whether you need a tune. The stuff the big catalogs leave out.
