Clevite V-series bearing for RB\B block

Does anyone know if Clevite makes V-series bearing for B-block wedge motors? I only see mains for the hemi. I’m not sure if V-series is nessasary for a 600 horse drag motor but would be a nice option. P-series CB527HND rod bearings and MS876P seems to…

Converter stall question
