Hi Paul
I assume you were thinking of using an entire gearbox/OD combo from a later
car? I don't think there is a mainshaft that will connect the non-synchro
gearbox to the J-type OD.
There is a tech feature on the (most excellent) Buckeye Triumphs website
about adapting the J-type OD to TR250 and early TR6 frames that were designed
for the A-type:

This should also apply to the 3A, in spirit if not in exact dimensions (the
non-synchro 2/3/3A gearbox is a little shorter than the later synchro box, I
believe).
You might also check with John Esposito at Quantum Mechanics
(www.quantumechanics.com). He sells a conversion kit.
Good luck!
