Okay so after much thought I was ready to install the greddy turbo kit I pieced togehter then in the future install a halteck stand alone ecu and a larger turbo and maybe some nos.
My RX7 has a huge turbo and a 2 rotor cosmo engine so it goes without saying in my life "if it's a 2 seater it better be a tire eater". LOL
So this was all fine and nice but then I started to consider the clutter under the hood and the power output for it. I'm all about a clean and dustom engine bay so I can't roll with a dirty engine bay unless it's bone stock. Then who cares you don't pop ur hood for anyone anyhow.
Well, getting ready to install the turbo kit this week I have been looking on line at V8 swaps for the miata. I'm 97% sold on buying a ford 289 or a 302 and starting this massive project. I mean think about it 300hp stock, carburated to eliminate wiring mayhem, and way to much power on a small chassis. Can it get any better?
No I'm not a drag freak that only likes to go fast in a straight line. I alreayd have coilover dampers on my car, I know I need a big brake kit next to be safe. I've reviewed dozens of websites and write ups so far on this.
Unless anyone can raise a good point on why I shouldn't do the swap please speak up.
Keep in mind I already know I need to replace the tranny, and rear end as well as weld in a custom tranny mount/crossmember.
So start with it. Let's hear some opinions.
