anyone who has done this conversion onto and A15 could you please give me some details on the cost.

I fired an email to dellow a while back about the cost of the kit and they havent written back as yet.

my questions are. does the kit include a 'box or do u need to find your own?

do you need a special clutch cable? also can you use a clutch that fits a datsun 4speed, 56series (i think, the box that came on the 78 ute) input shaft for the time being or do you need a different friction plate to match the input shaft of the 3T box? (are the input shafts the same?)

i know the tail shaft needs to be custom made.

i also know that the speedo cable hooks straight up.

im just trying to figure out which way to go with the 5spd upgrade as my new engine landed just the other week. (A15 built by converted)

any advice/tips/light to be shed on the topic would be greatly appreciated

i emailed them last year and this is what i got

TOYOTA 2T OR 3T 5-SPEED BEHIND DATSUN

so bugger all change from $1500.

i probably would get a whole new clutch made to suit the set up when i get it as the clutch i have now is funked!

but thanks anyway pigdog. and who are "we"?
do you work at a metal working place or something? i could get them mods done locally i think. it would cost me more for freight than the bearing mods.

i just copyed and pasted the whole word document that dellow sent me, so i guess we would be dellow

oh got ya! i thort you were actually saying that you could do it.
thanks pigdog
