I haven't used them (I race flatheads and they didn't list full floaters for them.) but I have sold them a couple of years ago.  (I used to work a few hours a week doing some outside sales for a machine shop after I retired.)  My experience is that King Bearings are repackaged.  A lot of stuff was imported and some of the Japanese bearings were OE.  Most was good quality.  Perhaps they manufacture their domestic parts or maybe they outsource everything.  Ask your supplier to look at the brg.  I will probably have the manufacturer stamped on it by the size.
