When this question has been asked in this forum the consensus has been that
while it is possible to add an overdrive unit to the rear end of a standard
tranny it is damn hard. Better to get an OD tranny and install that. As for
the value of that I bought one of the later model OD trannies for $400 a few
years ago. It is sitting under my workbench on standby in case that 3rd gear
noise in my GT's OD tranny decides to escalate from a nuisance to a failure.

I am going to pull my engine and transmission from my 66 MGB this summer for
a complete rebuild. I am considering installing an overdrive which it does
not currently have. From time to time I see overdrive units for sale on
Ebay, etc. I was wondering what I should be looking for when buying a used
overdrive unit and what is a reasonable costs of such a unit?
Any help is always appreciated.
