Just so you know...these sound like the folks who sell conversion kits to put
Nisson boxes into the B and Midgets, the kit is close to $500, then you must
supply the trans. Not a bad idea necessarily, but a late B overdrive with no
exchange can be had for $7-800,, and required no other fitting, so by the
time you are done doing the 5 speed thing you really are spending the same or
more money and getting a gearbox that doesn't shift as nicely as the B.
If you must do this, be sure to use a Z box, not a truck or sedan box, they
are much stronger and better overall.
