I kept my original gearbox when I installed an od -- I keep it in my storage
unit.
I don't think there is much gain in having the original gearbox adapted to
an OD if originality is your only purpose. Anyway -- several choices here
depending on your skill, time and cash.
For me getting a rebuilt OD from a proven reliable source (Quantumechanics)
made the most sense. Though I enjoy working on the car the idea of popping
that unit in (or should I say wrassling that unit in) and having it work
perfectly from the get-go was very attractive. Also, limiting the down time
to a one-time event lasting just a couple of days was important as I need
the car for transportation as well as fun.
