"64Avanti. What is the OD and ID of the bearing needed???"

The T85 snout measures .590 so the bearing ID would need a couple of thou clearance?
The bore in the back of the crank should be very close to 1.840 and is likely the same on all the V8 engines. The bearing definitely has an interference fit to the crank.
Gosh, this is fun. If I could have just retrieved the old (but mint) bearing, this would not have been a problem.
