Well, we've decided to finally go down the V8 route so the swap is officially for sale. All of the turbo stuff is removed and we are running the car NA until the V8 stuff arrives. I'll post a FS thread soon for the manifold, BOV, turbo, engine, trans, and the subframe/driveshaft soon.

I know some of you had PMed me in the past about buying some or all of the swap parts so feel free to contact me again.

 

wow, I always thought that you disliked V8's on small roadsters .. whoa, a V8 will be INSANE then ... congrats in you new decision/project

What kind of V8 you're getting?

We've got a 1998 Tremec T-56 trans and a 2000 LS1 both with about 50k miles ready to go in. The motor will be mostly stock with the exception of a cam and possibly some Jenvey individual throttle bodies (working on a sponsorship deal). I'm aiming for 400whp on 93.

 

LS1 going into the Miata? You are NUTS!!!

 

yeahhhh right ....

Btw, nice choice on the Ls1 ... you will not regret + torque is good LOL
