Sounds like a lot of money untill you know what can go wrong with these things.
First, being an early one it has no seal on the forward end,
so if the bushes are worn it will leak oil.
Second, if the mount ever came loose(most likely) it will have flogged out mount holes.
And other than corrosion, it may not be flat where it bolts down against the tranny(if the mainshaft has been moving forward).
Once all these things are inspected,you might find that most nose cones need work.
If you find a good one you probably spent 100 dollars shopping around.
That new one sounds like a good deal, but you should not have to go to the US to get a new one.
Another tip,
is to make sure that you dont block off the breather hole, or the drain hole in the intermediate housing, with sealant on assembly
