Ford Powered Miata
this is a older revell kit that i am swaping in a 1996 cobra motor in, in place of the small factory miata 4banger. im sure a lot of u guys that love this car for its handling and a heavy V8 will mess it up. but this is a common swap here in south florida with a 5.0 motor. i dont remeber exactly but the V8 only weighs like 130lbs more so handling would be that effected... but this type of car is only ment to rip the doors of other cars on the highway. if u want to see more of this swap go to www.monstermiata.com. they sell a kit for this swap.

Re: Ford Powered Miata
A black miata would look sleeperish. This should be an interesting build.

ok i got some progress done on the interior and the body. the paint is not finished, only one mist coat so far. im not sure if i want to build it with racing seats, roll cage and keep the soft top up or use the stock seats with the racing boot. im leaning more towards the top up. what do u guys think?

Re: Ford Powered Miata
what make was the base kit ? tamiya ? i ask because it looks like it has engine bay detail as if there were a engine supplied with the kit, the 4 cylinder.

more progress on the body, which is pretty much completed exept for window trim and clear coat. i still have not decided to go with the racing boot or the soft top. i could compromise and use the racing seats with the racing boot but i dont think they fit very well together. what do u guys think?
racing boot with stock seats   soft top with racing seats   racing boot with racing seats
