Paul Asgeirsson pasgeirsson@juno.com, (of this list) makes a nice one
and

These both use the Datsun 5 speed and don't require any chassis
modifications. There are a couple others that are a bit more costly or
difficult to install that use different gearboxes.
Personally, I like Paul's kit the best. You should find it to be the
easiest and most cost effective to install. I haven't installed one (yet),
but have seen the kit in person and it's well thought out and made. I did
have the chance to drive David Ramsey's car with the 5 speed, and the
transmission feels very natural in the car (as soon as you get used to the
extra gear, no gear noise in first and the 1st gear synchro). Send Paul an
email for the whole story and pricing.
