ifly,

Before you fork over money to get a new bronze bushing installed, check the upper and lower bushings in the conrod, and the piston to cylinder fit. If the other stuff is worn out, you might want keep it as a keepsake and get a new engine to run. As someone mentioned above, you can get a new BB version for just a little more.

If the other stuff is in good condition, it may be worth it as a collector's item since they haven't made the bushing version in many years.

Just don't end up with a worn out engine with a new crankcase bushing.

Good luck with it.

George
