There are two different B210 5 speeds. One is much longer and larger.
That's the one Howard located. (56 series/ ribbed case). This one is
more appropriate for something like an MGB. There is a smaller 63
series the is doable IF you want to cut out the cross member an make
other cuts/modifications to the chassis/sheet metal. Also. in some
cases, the fork also needs some relocation and custom adaptation for
the slave cylinder. In addition, the input and output splines are
different than a 210 and so it requires grafting the Datsun driveshaft
to the Spridget one, rather than the simple process of changing out
the yoke and U-joint, as is done with my kit. I've never done one of
these, but David Riker has and I've seen all the modifications/
fabrication he had to do.
Most anything can be done if you throw enough money time an materials
at it, it's just a matter of whether you want to do it the easy (and
reversible) way, or the hard way.
