I'm carrying over my Tein Flex, but I'm guessing I might be a bit undersprung in the front. They are the basic 7K/5K springs. Will likely up the fronts.

My old mans miata 3S Blacktop?
Published (2009-12-04 15:08:00)
Also, remember, if you do a search of this site and you don't see results for the engine you want to use, that just means the swap is very obscure so you won't have the benefit of others' experience for troubleshooting. Here's an estimated list of engine swaps off the top of my head. ~200 V8 (Ford or Chevy) swaps with about 100 running cars ~50 Toyota/Lexus (1UZ?) V8 swaps running from NZ or AUS with only 1 running car in...

Miata Steering, Adding a Joint Info
Published (2009-12-05 20:22:00)
I didn't get as much done today as I would have liked. I ran out of oxygen and then wire about 5 minutes later. Here is a pic of what I removed and how it's coming along. The firewall end will get .125 plates aft of the 1x2. More 1x2 will weld directly to the uca tubes. The rack mounts are completely horizontal and the power steering hard lines, high pressure hose fitting and pinion (which is still pointing up about 25 degrees) clear...

Autometer fuel sender install?
Published (2009-12-06 08:45:00)
I have the Autometer gauges; but, I'm not sure about the sending unit. I think it's still the original, which has lead to problems with the gauge not displaying the proper amount of fuel in the tank. Rather than fixing it, the builder just got used to its quirks. I did the same. I kinda like it because a thief could think it has plenty of gas to joy ride with when it doesn't. Maybe the use of the Autometer sending unit will fix...

Published (2009-12-04 11:06:00)
Most folks here will tell you they have far more invested into their cars than they initially thought. One way of looking at this is "replacement cost". Check out what Flyin' Miata charges to build one! My insurance company appraised by car and has it insured for $35K Canadian. That said, I paid $12K USD for the car already converted, but have put in an additional $25K since then to get it to where I like it... and it...

I istalled one in mine. I can't for the life of me remember exactly how I did it, but I remember it being simple and that i only used the lower part of the autometer sending unit. So it can be done and it didnt take long I suggest setting the sending unit up to show empty before it is actually empty (speaking from bad experience).

This is great info. I was thinking of going this route last year when I had my engine out again, and was looking at this or new headers. I decided to weld up my own headers with room for the steering shaft to go through them, but his option should work for more folks, and will make pulling the engine a lot easier.
I look forward to seeing pictures of it coming together!

NO you have too much time and money. I'm envious.

Cool, and probably less work than an LS3 if you have a failed Jag motor (maybe the cam chain tensioners - prone to failure in early V8's, reportedly unpgraded in the one in your link.)
Running XJ8's and XK8's built 10 years ago are the same price these days as as Miatas built 10 years ago. The motor in your link and a "Driven Man" T56 kit could make one of those a LOT of fun.

Steve,
You should know that "search" is your friend... that said, 99% of what works for any other Miata works for cars with massive torque and a bit more weight.
However, we can steer our cars with the loud pedal, so removing the rear anti-sway bar is likely a better idea than usual, as we can induce oversteer any time we like.
Further, we have more of a problem with wheel hop, so ...

Some degree of neurological damage, considering all the readily available forced induction options and V8 swaps.

I wouldn't be surprised if it loses 1/3 to half it's value if its a track car. The market for an LSX swap is tiny anyway, and I'd guess those that want a complete street car outnumber dedicated track car buyers 10 to 1 if not more.
