Default Babbitt metal

I believe from reading online that the original ford babbitt formula was 86% tin 7% copper 7% antimony. I have the chance to purchase some babbitt bars that are 91% tin 4.5% copper 4.5 antimony, it's trade name is Adament and its made by the Magnolia Metals company. Has anyone ever used this? Is the mixture suitable for Model A engines? Thanks for any thoughts in advance.
