Default H Beam vs. I Beam Rods for the ls1?

What is the difference between an H-Beam and I-Beam Rods?

What are the pros and cons of each?

Is either a better choice in an LS1?

Thanks,

Mike

Weight Vs strength basically along with difficulty in manufacture and price.

Have a look at this link...not too bad.
