Going to be buying all new engine bearings and piston rings this week. Any manufacturers recommended or any to stay away from?

I used ACL as recommended by my machinist

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

your crank will need measuring to see if its standard or been reground or if it needs a regrind. i usually measure end float before stripping then check thrust bearings once apart.

crank looks almost new, the old bearings also look in really good nick.
The old bearings are marked up:
P KE P KE
6568 4691
.010 .010

so am i right in thinking these are +0.010 bearings?
Hopefully get my crank measured tomorrow anyways but would liker to order bearings soon.
