Default Front sway bar?

Whats the best front sway bar, 1" or 1 1/8" . Only a small price difference. What are the pros and cons of each. Thanks

I am running the 1 1/8". Not really sure if you'd be able to tell a difference with the 1". In either case, a new front sway well help eliminate body roll and also stiffen up the front a bit.

Probably no difference at all. 1" is the most common size, but Id go with whatever is cheaper...

I have heard the fitting the 1 1/8" anti-sway bar can be a pain as the clearence between parts of the car is not good so they rub on the body

I got a big block engine on my 67 and wonder if a 1" fitts. I have a standar sway bar today, and i got almost no space between my oil filter and swaybar. I know there is bigblock 1" swaybars on the marked, does anyone know what the differense is between a standar 1" and a 1" for bigblock?
