nyall86 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hmm that would be nuts and a sleeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Good luck trying to keep it straight and trying to hook up. Already looked into that swap and it just doesnt seem practical unless you plan on doin high end roll ons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie84 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hell, it already is hard as hell to hook up in LSX FDs. I can't imagine what it'll be like in a Miata. But there is no denying that it'll be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can shove 275 slicks under these cars now I did 120 in my little turbo miata and let me tell you, its nothing like it was in the C5. You feel like your doing 180+ in the vette when your only doing 100 in the miata. I'm in the process of parts hording and just waiting for a swap that uses a real sized header before laying down the cash. If you buy a modded F-body dirt cheap and part it out, you end up with a free engine, built GTO t56, PCM and wiring harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chpmnsws6 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 My main reason for doing it.......... I got tired of sitting at 4500rpm on the highway at only 75mph. 1300rpm is MUCH nicer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOS50 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Not that impressive with the 5.0 and I'm a Mustang guy. http://www.monstermiata.com/Monster_Miata_Specs.asp The LS1 looks like a much better swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
