Converting Raleigh cottered bottom bracket to cotterless

I have an early 70s Raleigh Super Course that I want to convert from cottered to cotterless. The cranks I would like to install are Sugino "Super Mighty" pulled from a late 70s bike. What type of bottom bracket do I need to accomplish that? On ebay I found a NOS bottom bracket listed as "Shimano Deore XT Bottom Bracket 36X24T 70X122" for $20. Would that work? Thanks.
