They are termed camshaft bushings but I have seen them listed as camshaft bearings on eBay.

Honestly, it's not common to need to replace them. You can endure the expense if you wish but unless they are severely scoured or missing altogether, they can be dressed and used again.

Wow.
I have never dealt with Joe Hooper but I have dealt with Z1 Enterprises for well over a decade. Very knowledgeable folk and Jeff (the owner) is a great guy. They carry a lot more stuff than they list on their website and they can get OEM parts also.
