There is another type of material that is harder (can't remenber the name) if it going to be street driven the bronze has a tendency wear

that's true. although many a car is being street driven with bronze bushings with no appreciable wear after many years.

Maybe Ampco 45 Bronze is a Nickel Aluminum Bronze
There is also a Manganese Bronze Ampco 673 & 674

Ampco 18 aluminum bronze would be a good choice if you're going to make it yourself , it's very slick material.We use it all the time on plastic injection molds for bushings and wearplates.

This may be the same material the use to make the distributor gear drives for roller cams.??

Try the Diamond site. They list lifter bushings on Page 5.
