There are some pretty big pics there; they used the 3.0L Duratec from a Lincoln LS, pretty much the same as the Taurus/Sable/Escape engine. Who's in the mood for a 200 RWHP NA Miata?

I'm thinking more along the lines of 5.0L myself, but 3.0L would be cool too...

Yeah, there was a really nice one going on ebay last week, which too all the will power I could muster not to bid on. Maybe someday...

Sorry to interrupt the Miata flow of this thread, but along the same lines of cramming massive engines into tiny cars, here's a link to Bill Strong's website. His latest project is a 1st gen MR2 with an all aluminum, 4 cam, 32 valve 4.6L Northstar V8 :shock: It should be pretty interesting when it's all said and done.

That sounds like a Miata that would make a great drag car or street sleeper. But the front/rear weight ratio would be terrible for a track car. I would think in a Miata a wild 4cyl with a supercharger would be fun. Look at Jim's car with the turbo. Pretty darn quick.

MazdaSpeed will be launching the new MX5 Turbo on Jan 5. About 175HP, I think. Maybe 26-27 Thou, with all the creature comforts that will be included. Would be nice if thay did a stripped version!
