I have seen 1000's advertised with a12 and 14 motors with a 5 speed behind them. What box is that and where do you get them?

There is a very good explination of A-Series 5 speeds on 1200.com
http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawiki/index.php?title=5-Speeds
A-Series 5-Speeds go for around $1000 AU, give or take a few hundred dollars.

Well, if the final drive is still 1 to 1, then whats the point? I already spend more time changing gears than cruising.

Not all the a series 5 speeds are 1:1 final drive. Only some of the dogleg boxes were.
All the ones I hve seen are std shift patterns with a 5th overdrive.
Still the toyota t50 box is better value in my opinion.

Right place right time
Mal (weekend 1000) has them now and then
Or keep an eye out for someones offcasts (I'm selling a T50 later in the year)
But don't expect to get any change from $1000+

There is one more option not many know of but I came across it
some years ago on speedway is the Volvo box which is small as
a 4 speed and has a detachable electric overdrive unit giving
more than 6 different ratios. Wouldnt that be a treat!
Many speeway people used them behind A series in their minisprints
but thats going back 10 years ago and some werent perfectly aligned.

Hey guys, I've seen an NZ bloke cut and shut a S15 6 speed box with an A series bellhousing and fit it behind an A15 in his rally stanza.
For the price of an A series 5 speed i reckon it's worth looking at this option with an L series box or similar.

the 6 speed is 45+ kg which is 3 x 56a 4 speed boxes
also 6 speed is over the top really. It be good to have a
4 speed with 1;1 3rd gear and overdrive 4th as 1st and
2nd could easily be 2.6;1 and 1.8:1 etc.

The point is that the true five speed allows a much better use of whatever power your engine develops
I used a 56A five speed in my '68 sedan for something like fifteen years & it transformed the car into a thing of joy.
[The big bore 1200 GX engine helped too of course]
There is no way that my Coupe is rolling out of the shed without one & I still have that gearbox from my 1000 sedan.
If you need taller gearing, think seriously about a higher ratio diff.
KB10GL, the car I always wanted.

Does anyone know where to purchase an adapter for A series to T50 apart from the expensive Dellow one?

Never heard of anyone else doing one
You could always use an auto bellhousing and make your own
