Default Front sway bar sizes

Did small block and big block cars use the same size front sway bar?

No SB Vettes had 11/16 diameter bars. Big Blocks had 15/16 or 1.125" front bars with a rear sway bar. There is speculation that 70-72 ZR-1 Vettes had front rear bars.

FWIW, I thought F41 small blocks also had front and rear anti-roll bars.
