That's one of the oldest 5 Speed conversions, the only problem with it is  
that gearboxes are very scarce.

Hi,
I  tried to send this yesterday, but i didn't see it turn up, so I'll repeat  
it
a bit.

A company here (Australia) called Dellow Automotive makes  a 'kit' to put a
toyota 5speed transmission onto an A-series.
My brother  has done this to his MkIII sprite, and it's a very very nice 
drive.
It uses  Toyota's T50 alloy case trans, also known as Celica T-2 and  T-3
trans.
Nicer ratios, except perhaps the overdrive, which is .86,  compared to the
datsuns .82

I dont think the kit is as complete as  the datsun kits, and the work
description from the previous post, below  sounds familiar, except swap Ford
for  Toyota.
