[T3] Its all apart, and the verdict is in

I believe those are good bearings. I believe they used to be TRW, or Federal Mogul. 
Can't say anything about the seller though, as I have no experience with them.

European motorsports has the bearings, I think they are silverline, steel
backed, anyone have any opinions or experience with these?
my case is good.

Good Type 4 cases and crank bearings are still a bear to get.

Keith;
 I'm really sorry it has come to this. I also realize even T-3 engine parts
can be iffy. Yet that might be a better option to get a new case and bring
up the piston size of the T-3 engine. I've never done it yet many have. It
all depends on what you can spend.
