BBC connecting rod offset

Can someone please explain the BBC offset on the current 2.2 rods available. Is it the big end or the small end? I have done a search and can't find a clear answer and if it's a problem. I have the crank and i'm ready to buy the rods.

Thanks in advance for your time.

big end, not a problem

Is the big end machined off center of the beam?

Yes. it is, by .060" or so.

Some of the SBC applications are the same. I found it odd that an offset beam (relative to the crank-pin) was not considered offset! I exchanged the "standard rod" for an (so-called) offset SBC application with the beam centered in relation to the crank-pin. It seemed to make the rod/piston appearance much more pleasing. My experience was found while mating SBC rods to a Ford 351W crankshaft.
