I don't see why it can't be done. Outboards use roller bearings on the crank and rods. I just don't know if they could handle the loads of a BBC. I have to imagine that if it could be done then it would have been done by now. They have used roller bearings in the camshaft for years, so there must be a reason they don't use them for the crank and rods.

Pro Stockers in NHRA already had roller main bearings. That is why the rule states you must use a babbit bearing.

I think F1 and Indy motors have them, I would think some import cars do.Chris we were at Daytona way back, they did a show like PRI days before the race,I don't remember the name,one booths had a Titanium crank shaft,it was pretty cool,they were something like 10k,they had already outlawed it in Nascar.I guess the piston weight would be a problem?zing zing

Do you prefer none, single or double lube tubes, DLC pins, coated pistons, non inner-cooled ?

Torrington bearings are never bad unless they come apart. You're wasting your time worrying about friction loss via the cam journal at this point in your endeavor.
If you really want to have an indestructible valve train, start looking at 82 C rockwell camshaft and 1" flat tappet with 2:1 rocker ratio. You can achieve better valve stability and longevity.
As fast or can be faster than most roller profiles and will live longer than the short block.
