Any Monster Miatas here?
Just wondering. I haven't seen too many in my area. I love the idea of a super light miata with a TT 13b in it. I recently saw one in a magazine but I can't remember which one. Anyway it was BadA$$.

I also hear that Ford 5.0 Mustang engines get dropped into Miatas once and a while. One of the Panoz guys has one (Danny?)... But he could probably get whatever he wants.

Yeah, there are LOTS of swaps for the MX-5. The 13B and 5.0 are the most common.
Personally, I think the 5.0 is better. The engine itself is lighter, helping to maintain that 50/50 weight balance, it's got better reliability, and power is not problem...In fact, it kicks the rotary's ass in torque.

Just add a FM turbo to it and achieve some 230 rear wheel HP on a 1.6 and some 260 rear wheel HP fro a 1.8.
Take a look at: www.flyinmiata.com for the action! Nico who still swapped his FM turbo-ed miata for a Lancer EVO VI |

And it is easy to get 450+hp from the ford engine. And its lighter, which is even better (I would of thought that it would be heavier)

You always ask people for information and then roll your eyes at them?
