Autos are really a totally different animal so it's unlikely they would. Typically it's going to be PPG, Albins, etc. Ultimately you're very limited by the physical size of the gears and I think someone tested one without much success (Accelerated?)
I don't mind being a guinea pig if I pick up a sponsorship but if I'm buying all in I want something proven so maybe a Hollinger or even a T-whatever swap.

I'm not going to answer that I'm just going to say bearings are not the problem. This has been the biggest misconception fed by people who can't build tested motors so it's easy to blame the bearing. OEM bearings are typically very good in Subaru engines but they are very expensive and that's the main reason to change them. Typically these bearings and many of the "race" bearings are hard which is ideal in maintaining form and ensuring the oil wedge stays where you set it (remember the oil wedge is the bearing, not the bearing itself). Some fall into the trap of using "soft" bearings because they'll damage less when there is a failure. I say just build it right and you won't have worry about bearing failure. LOL!
