Just the small journal bearings as per 3.5/3.9 engines, only thing you need to make sure is that you get an extra plain lower bearing + single upper thrust bearing. Sourcing quality bearings is probably more important (like avoid britpart...) ~ probably easiest to just ask V8D / TVRpower for a set at least you know they are using them on TVR's..
