Would like to know what guys who have rebuilt their motors use for the bottom end when it comes to bearings.

I will be beating on the motor and spinning it as high as the stock rods can take it (with ARP hardware).

Which ones are favoured by guys who have built engines?

Part numbers would be very helpful.

Incredible. 55 views and not one suggestion for a decent set of bearings?

I'm running clevite also. Spin the motor as high as the stock PCM can handle and no problems so far

use the H for the harder bearing.

I picked these up locally http://www.summitracing.com/parts/slp-8-2555a but the LT1/LT4 rebuild book suggested the Clevite P-series bearings http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cle-cb663p

Also did some research and many people seem to prefer the Clevite P series over the Federal Mogul A-series.

So I am stuck here. Do I return the A-series Federal Mogul rod bearings and get the Clevite P-series instead?

Clevite H here also... I have ran those sealed power (federal mogul) bearings before in a 383 SBC without problems. In fact its still running today in a friends 68 camaro. I'd spin it up to about 72-7300 rpm.

Clevite H bearings! No problems up to 7200

Any of the above are fine. Clean assembly, proper clearances are a bigger deal. I like usung Clevite Bearing Guard assembly lube on the bearings too.
