I looked in to this about 2 years ago. At the time
the kit to adapt a Datsun 280Z gearbox was
about $650. The kit includes belhousing,
propshaft adapter, starter housing etc.
On top of that you would need a 280 gearbox
(I got one for $100 at a junk yard), a Datsun
starter, slave cylinder, and have the flywheel
machined to adapt the starter ring. The total
cost was in excess of $1100 and I was not
sure it would fit my application (3-main vs 5-main).
