Planning on building a decent touring motor for my 29 Special Coupe. Going to use Snyders pistons, ss valves, 1 piece guides, self locking adj lifters, B cam, counterweights, the only thing I can't decide on is what inserted rods to use.

Snyders offers some rods that have the bearings wrap around the edges of the rods like the babbit rods do.

The other rods from Snyders are just your basic style bearings.

This motor will be going in front of a stock trans with 3.54's. Just wanted some opinions on the matter. What advantages/disadvantages would one bring over the other since the first set provides forward and backward thrust likes the babbited rods.
