Not the best idea.

You can run plain bearing and save lots of block integrity
No real performance advantage to roller bearings and some top guys even think plain bearings deal dampens harmonics.

If your taking about the first-generation R block ??? What you do is use a 50mm roller cam
You Machine out the block The first 4 mains from Front to back to the bearing size I can get that # if you need it and that last main can only go to 40mm so you have to turn down the cam on the last Journal
There's not enough mean on the block For a 50mm bearing

Pictures below are of a 48° First-generation R block
