Are you ordering bearings from GM or Clevite? I've never seen Clevite list A or B bearings; I've only seen GM differentiate between the two. That said, they will mix the rods in the same motor; they aren't all A or B rods.

I was pricing them from the parts store they were clevite but they asked me what rod they were i just went ahead and ordered a set from a vendor here instead
