I really have not seen that many OD transmissions that could be 
purchased here in the USA that are ready to bolt in. Most all of them 
need some rebuild work. The ones that appear on Ebay, from the UK, ARE  
ready-to-run and they are selling for about $1000-$1200 which is a very 
good deal. Also, they usually come in a package with relay, wiring, 
switch and sometime the correct speedometer. What a deal! Most of the 
other stuff on ebay is usually junk. The early non-syncro ALL need 
rebuilding, which is almost impractical because parts just don't exist. 
If I found an OD unit and transmission, and nobody knows what condition 
it's in, then it's just worth the price of a core ($100ea).
