They had clearance or separation issues of some
Sort.

Have you spoken to Sasha Anis in Canada about his big-fat-VQ and the bearing he used.

There is an "tuning magazine" article on the web about the spec that mentions King bearings.

Might be worth the price of a phone call ?

They have them for the 350z, not the 370z.

Is VQ37 bottom end with HR heads, a Bryant Racing 96mm stroke steel crank and bunch of other stuff including according to the story:

Quote
King Engine Bearings provided the main and rod bearings for this project — both coated in their XPC material. Though King didn’t produce bearings for the VQ, covered in the low-friction XPC material before, these custom bearings suit the custom internals. In fact, the main and rod bearings are the same sizes as those from a Nissan VR38DETT and a Honda K20, respectively, so they were able to get the XPC-coated versions.
End-Quote

Like I said, a phone call will be cheap ....... if you get a result

The things that you can do when you have a custom Bryant racing crank made. He has a 4.2 stroker motor from what I remember.
