My foggy old brain thinks I used a bushing for a small block when I built the engine 15yrs ago. I'll do some more research to narrow it down. I like to have all the parts needed for a job before I take something apart.

I got mine from Autogear, the folks who make the m-22z gear sets. The other alternative, and also one that I have used is the heavy duty bronze bushing sold by Pioneer PB-656-HD.
