Something I've only glanced at but haven't checked out yet...
Is the bolt pattern on the TR-7/SD1 five speed the same as the bolt
pattern on the TR-7, Midget 1500, et al four speed? I seem to
remember them looking similiar, because if so, here's an all
British solution to the ouch of finding, buying, repairing, and
maintaining an overdrive MGB, or the non-Brit put-in-a-Datsun-box:
Austin Marina bellhousing + TR-7 five speed into a 'B (would require
the common 'B V-8 tranny tunnel mod).
Is this do-able?
