Yep that's a Miata. Yep there's a 302 in it.



Darn Cool.

That is so weak...

Thats a nice sleeper, I would have used an SBC though.

Thats a nice sleeper, I would have used an SBC though.

i dont think it would fit. the 302 has smaller outside dimentions. and that engine bay dont look like it can fit any more...

Yeah, theyre called Monster Miata's.

Heard about em a while ago but have never seen one done before.

[req]

now wouldnt it be funny if somone saw that driving down the road, then called it rice?

because, its more like an american uncle-ben riceball with meat inside. its even white, like rice.

i would drive that. hell, id drive a regular miata.

I swapped a jet engine into my mom's Honda CR-V ... VTEC jet engine

first, i wanna see a pic of that CR-V. so i can laugh at you.

second, i wanna see a pic of you trying to sit in the CR-V. so i can laugh some more.

third, i guess ill take pics of the jet swap. but its not reall street legal, so it dosnt even count... looooser

[ighettoboyi]

i'd love to see how much that compromises the handling of that car

[snebes]

it's still a chick car.......

.....I'd drive it, but claim its the girls'

I've seen numerous focus's swapped with v8's. Now that is a nice sleeper.

[Primo]

This swap is better:

Honda s2000 swapped into a Mazda B2200

It doesn't actually affect the handling too much. There is a guy with a 5.0 miata around here and he loves the way it handles... very good quarter mile times too. Especially when you think about the cost of buying other cars and building them...

there are guys putting ls1s into miatas!
