[Healeys] Transmission Conversions

I recently read the article in the June 2008 issue of the Austin  Healey 
magazine by Tracy Drummond concerning a Smitty transmission conversion  & I 
noticed the pilot bushing bearing was installed in the flywheel, not in  the crank 
shaft. What is the reason/benefit for this?
Also, do you think the reason the original bearing (mentioned in the  
article) failed was because it was brass when it should have been bronze?  Or was 
there some other reason?
