Default Recommend some bearings for me

Which bearings would you recommend for my 383 blown stroker build? I'll need crank and connecting rod bearings. What have you guys used and are you happy with them? I'm leaning towards Clevites. I know they make two different kinds, H and P. Which is better?

Clevite is all I have ever used.. H has a wide chamfer on the edge to fit the radius on the filets of performance cranks where P series are pretty much squared off at the edges and fit factory cranks better. If your going to use a aftermarket crank H might be what you want, a from my reading it is a more performance oriented bearing.... Also I believe the H's are a harder material then the P's.. Call and talk direct to them, to be sure, as I am not positive...

Clevite H for you since this will definitey be using a longer than stock stroke.

You need the H's for the aftermarket crank, P's will not fit correctly and will basically cause the oil to hemorrhage and cause terrible oil pressure.
