No experience making a bushing, but *ass*u*me* that if you
took a 5-main bushing and a 3-main bushing bushing to your
local machine shop that the could morph 'em.
Moss lists a bushing ... 330-570 ... application states ...
'5-main (3-main conversion)' ... I believe this is the
bushing you need ... certainly worth a look.

Understood ... but IMHO you should be rebuilding the tranny
anyway, so that it can better cope with the increase in
power ... you will be putting additional stress on the
laygear bearings ... of course YMMV ... ;^)
