Holy Miata!!!!

[Darin]

So what is the purpose of that engine in a Miata, the extra weight has got to destroy the handeling. I am sure that it would make a kick a$$ 1/4 mile car but other then that???

Are you not reading the replies?

Putting a bigger engine in a Miata does NOT destroy 'Handling'. There is MORE to 'Handling' prowess than a 50-50 weight distribution. Most V8 Swaps have VERY LITTLE affect on the hanlding of the car; not only the engine, but (as mentioned), transmission, rear end, and suspension get modified to accept the increased weight/power.

v8 miatas are not monster miatas. Monster miatas are the ones built by Monster Motor sports (I'm not sure if the even do them anymore).


THere are Ford 5.0 swaps. rover engine, etc. Look at some of the swaps in Aus.
