In reverse order...
Rocker arms from LKQ. New ones are a billion dollars. And that was before the dollar went into the toilet. 89Yen to the dollar WTF!!!
Nismoshop (west covina Nissan) has excellent prices. Also check nissanparts.cc (tacoma Nissan) as they're pricing things agressively as well.
That bearing looks like regular cadmium plated steel. Can never be sure what composition, though.
Hey Longfellow, did you meet Ian when you were over this weekend? He's an Engineer for Timkin bearings. You should have asked him about it while you had the chance.

Oh yeah, that 350Z. It's been done, as people have posted. Someone TT'd an AWD one a few years back for the USCC. It made 550whp, but don't remember if it was MT or not. It scored very highly and might have won. I don't see what's so hard about it. They make AWD G35's, and the FX35 is a platform whore as well. You should be able to do it with minimal custom parts. Or get crazy and run an adapter plate for a R32-34 manual. The ATTESA system is the same. The hard part is the small diff in the oil pan, anyways, but Infiniti takes care of that.

While I dont doubt yours are trashed, i've seen plenty of that, im guessing usually due to clogged up cam oilers, i'm just saying you dont need brand new rockers, a set that hasnt been trashed due to the oilers not squirting will be perfectly fine.
Just bring it by
