248 babbit rods

'51 Special

I am considering picking up a '47 Super. It doesn't run. Assuming an engine overhaul is necessary, can I replace the babbited rods with insert bearing rods from a '49 or '50 248? I ask because the price of re-babbiting, or converting the original babbited rods to accept inserts, looks scarey.
