As far as the p and h series goes. I believe it is the type of material used in it that makes the difference in the two. I have been told by the machine shop I used and researched on the LS1 forum and it seems like the h series is the way to go. As far as price. I got a h set mains and rods for around $170 off of Egay. The p series was around $120-$150. So for the extra. Why not?

They have steel backings with carefully selected overlays and a high crush factor, plus a medium level of eccentricity. H-Series bearings have enlarged chamfers at the sides for greater crank-fillet clearance, and are made without flash plating for better seating.

To compensate for this distortion, they have higher eccentricity and a high crush factor. P-Series bearings are built on hardened-steel backings with extra-thin overlays, and their oil grooves extend all the way around both halves for better oiling. Lower sections have dowel holes for use with aluminum rods, and there are extra-clearance variations available with an additional 0.001 in. of clearance.

Im running king bi metal for both the main and rod. As far as the p vs h bearings I think it has more to do with what crank your running. With some aftermarket cranks you need the h brearings because of the chamfered edge on the crank you need them for the clearance. Also h bearings can come with the dowel hole but it will be the hd part number.
