j/k... what he said ^^^


U do realize how small the Miata is. I don't think you could easily put a ls7 or 351 in such a car. Even if you could it would be pointless the car would not hold traction

why swap at all ? save $ build what you have.

I have an mk1 1.6 do u think I can drop a type r unit in there?
I'd love one of the new ones but if I get a cheap one from the previous integra type r 1.8 I'd still be really happy. will it need a lot of work though?

the only real difficult part is fitting the exhaust
keeping the car straight under hard acceleration because of the short wheel base is a bigger issue than than traction from what I've seen
there are a couple of LS1 Miata youtube videos at an autocross at Pungo airfeild here in VA, do a search for them
the car looks like alot of fun but it's a handfull

who built your motor?

Falken Azenis on 16" rims,brakes are from a 99 model with carbon tech brakes pads, bilstein suspension w/ coil overs. hard dog hardcore rollbar keeps it rigid with little no no body flex. and the powers being held by a flyin' miata clutch and flywheel. not to mention that I'm getting near 30mpg and even closer to 40mpg while running toluene. running a water to air intercooler and its keeping the car cool at 90 degrees Celsius.


now tell me why you would want to swap a perfectly good motor?

may I ask, who did the build? and what the cost might have been minus the Turbo? - I was in the process of investigation a K20 and tranny from an S2000 - - thank you!
