I'm not sure how close lead or tin/lead will come to actual experience as a replacement for babbitt. Babbitt that is used for Ford blocks has somewhat different characteristics in shrinkage and malleability. If folks are looking for actual experience then the recommended babbitt mix is the only way to go. This is not an easy thing to learn without an experienced tutor and using the wrong materials isn't advised.
