Not saying one is a better option than the other but I just put a TKO in my 71 bird and it was pretty straight forward swap. I did go with a hydraulic setup but you don't have to. Didn't have much more than $2800 in it. A bit more w the clutch and such but you will want new parts like that anyway as long as you are in there. Certainly not cheap but what is anymore. Plus you can probably get a fair bit of coin for the M22. Lotta purists out there would love to have it.
