Sounds pretty much what I did.=20

Add the transmission mounts =E2=80=94 they are usually worse than the =
motor mounts.

I also cleaned up and rattle-canned the motor.

I assume this is a gearbox complete with OD, and not just an OD.  Quite =
a bit of work to add an OD to a non-OD box.

As mentioned earlier if it's a blue label OD then it's the correct OD =
for a rubber bumper B, regardless.  There was no difference in the OD =
itself between earlier rubber bumpers and 77 and later, only in the =
electrical switching which is all external to the OD itself.  You have =
the choice of whether to put the original lever back and have the manual =
switch somewhere else, or source a 77 and later lever with switch in the =
knob.

If it's off a pre-77 then it will give you OD in 3rd and 4th, but if off =
a 77 or later then probably on 4th only.  If the sub-harness has come =
with the gearbox then that will give you a clue as there were =
connections for both the lockout and manual switches on 77 and later, =
but only for the lockout switch before that.  More info on selector =
levers and plungers that control that here =
http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/gswitch.htm#3

Do you have TCSA now?  Do you need to keep it for emissions reasons?  =
That may determine whether you can have OD on 3rd and 4th or will need =
to restrict it to 4th only.
