I like Timken or SK. There’s 3 different bearing lengths, make sure you match yours up.

I :believe: I used the middle size for my 4 speed swap

I would add Bower/BCA and NDH, (New Departure Hyatt) to the list of good ones. But may be hard to source those. Finding USA made ones may be difficult as well. I try to stay away from the bearings that have a plastic sleeve/collar and also a plastic cage for the balls in this application. Finding quality parts is more and more difficult every day.
