You implying that 65hp is "fun" in the Festiva?

Market for 1.3 retrofit kit
I think people don't understand that a Miata weighs 20% more than what
those older econoboxes do. 65HP won't be any fun in a Miata.
FWIW,
I was going to swap in an LS1 and just found a really low mileage Vette!
(way off topic but click on the link for a good laugh - or to be amazed at
the find)

Since gas spiked over $3/gal a year ago I get lots of emails from my site
about the process to retrofit a 1.3 Festiva engine in order to get 40+
mpg. I know what needs to be done and what parts need to be fabricated.
SOHC. 65 hp. 5000 max rpm . Once someone drives a low reving 65 hp
engine surely they will be disappointed. The best 96/97 Festiva engines
are 11-12 years old now and finding a good used one can be tough. Is
there a real market for a $200 retrofit kit?
