Not DVKK (lately that doesn't really seem to matter) but I used  clevite 77 part# 610P's. You need to clearance the edges for the radius on the journal cheeks but that was only a 4-5 beer job :D using an exacto knife, then jiffy marker the area, torque them onto the crank and rotate to see if you took enough off, repeat if needed.....hence needing the 6 pack ;)
In my extensive poking and prodding for info on this build I was told that clevite 745hn's are the shit (better material and teflon coated I think...look them up) and you don't need to modify them like the 610p's.

Or I think it was alan u that reccomended the calico ones.
