6 speed B series

Just wondered if there is a 6 speed box that can be fitted to the B series engine and if so what one and would I need any extras like an adaptor to make them fit

If the B spun the same direction as a K, then that might be do-able, but they don't.

and J series, but they all spin in different directions

so the final answer is:
you cannot retrofit and make 5 speed into 6 and you cannot run a speed tranny on your b series because the options available cannot be used on your B series.

I was stating that the k20, k24 6 speed trans gear ratios are just as short as b16 and as Bks84 said they spin a different direction.

so please relate this to the contents of this thread.
clearly you understand that k20/k24 tranny will not bolt up to the BSeries because of the difference in the rotation of the two - so then why would you bring up the gear ratios? All you are doing is confusing others by making a comparison of the gearing between two different, non-interchangeable "things".
Simple answers go further then long and complicated once. :)
