I am just trying to come up with some options. I have to rebuild the
engine. So it would actually be cheaper to do the Datsun swap at this
point, since I have access to a car with only 47000 miles on the engine for
$300. Last time I rebuilt an engine it cost over $1000, with all the new
parts, head work, and machining. Plus I like the idea of a 5-speed. But I
just don't think I am willing to do any cutting on the car (which is why I
am not considering the Toyota or Mazda conversions). I wonder if it is
possible to find a Sp*f*re gearbox with overdrive....?

heater shelf. A de-smogged 1500 engine with a Weber and a header, the stock
transmission in good condition, and a 3.73:1 rear axle make a very enjoyable
combination. I'm not sure I'd expend the effort converting.
