There is also a conversion kit using the Toyota trans from
www.conversioncomponents.co.nz
 
I have also seen one from a company called
DuPont Machine that uses the commonly available borg warner T5 gearbox.

To be fair, Herman isn't the only source. Eagle Gate
(www.eaglegatellc.com) in Mesa Arizona also makes one. I just bought one a
couple of weeks ago and I liked it because I can use my stock TR3 pressure
plate and slave cylinder. The kit comes with a new throwout shaft and fork so
you don't have to use the old one. For personal reasons, I didn't want any
hydraulics inside the bellhousing and I am not going to use anything but
silicone brake fluid. I removed my TR3 tranny last weekend and the Toyota one
is going in this coming weekend.
