Hhhmmm...  I dunno.  I'm planning on putting one in on my 72, and my local
MG specialist will put in a rebuilt OD, and refurbish the clutch [while he's
down there, I guess :)], for $700.  I wouldn't trust the used OD, but the
other sounds a bit pricey to me.  You may want to shop around a bit more...
