They're dirt cheap over there!! I'm thinking the next time I go over I'll buy a bunch & ship them home in a short container.

That's about the going rate for them on Ebay UK.

Some of the guys in my club were discussing the idea of importing a dozen or so for personal use/resale, etc.

Will this really fit 68-74 cars. Just trying to gain more knowledge overall on MGB OVerdrives.

Then I see this one for 1800cc MGB's.

Then I see this one for 1977 through 1980 but works on earlier cars.

Is there a post or tech site that has the run down on identification for which OD is which and any interchangeability information?

Yep, but unless you already have an OD transmission, its just a good boat anchor - won't do you any good!

That one you could use if you know how to disassemble & rebuild a transmission. But its overpriced, IMHO.

That one's way overpriced, IMHO!
