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!

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?
