13b in a miata
hey i saw a miata for sale right next to a rx-7 and the price diference was drastic. i was thinking what would be the chances that a 13b motor would fit in a miata and would it be able to sit back closer to the middle like the rx-7.... or is this just a stupid idea and no one will ever do it because it is just a better idea to spend more cash on an rx-7 body and just save up...

as much of a rotary nut as I am, you may also want to consider doing an FE3 swap for your Miata.
Who is this rocky guy, I've never heard of him...

Rocky used to work at Rotory Performance www.rx7.com He was there last I knew but that was a few months ago.
I am currently looking for a T2 for myself.

If I do go with a T2 then I will be looking for one that was bought by someone going through a midlife crisis new and finally decided to step up to a RX8 or something now. I want one that has been pampered. But for that money I could get a 3rd gen too so I dont really know.

The only thing wrong with my turbo II is that some fuck sideswiped it and it needs a new mirror. Everything else is perfect. And I dont know what your talking about for that money I could get a third gen. For what I'd take for mine, I'd like to see someone get a third gen.

if you wanna do an engine swap with a miata i would suggest an L serious chevy V8
 Since the miata is piston powered anyway, adding 4 more wont hurt. And people wont yell at you for ruining the premise of the car.

I want the pampered one for the straight body and the fact that it spent the last 15 years garaged, and yes I know of a couple like that. So there has to be several more out there. Im not worried about rebuilding the engine thats nothing.
