heys guy, i dont own an fbody... and i never will! haha

[Andre]

no but seriously... im probably going to need you peoples help eventually.
im dead set on putting an ls1 in my miata, and since i know nothing about ls1's and v8's in general i thought i would do some snooping around and learn something on this site.

ps. i think i have seen ShaneN around the 72nd and scott road area, ate at quiznos once too? haha... nice vett

[ThePhoenix]

reinforce your frame!!!!

[Andre]

i don't think i will have to.

this guy did an extensive write up of the swap and whatnot.

Putting an engine from a real car into a girly car doesn't make it not a girly car, it just means you wasted an LS1. Unless you're gay. I guess then it's perfect.

this site is probably not going to help you. Its full of idiots and hicks and idiot hicks that do nothing but bash you for any of the ideas or opinions you have

on a much more serious note try either of these sites. They will likely help you the most

[Jessev]

there's a few people here that could help, but you're much better off at ls1tech

[Jessev]

unless you live around here and gonna have it done by mid February

[Andre]

ahh, yea, thanks smokeshow, i can see that, i just think miatas are great cars and an ls1 would make it even a better car, maybe it would be good at time attack too, who knows.
i will check out ls1tech.
why do you say mid february jesse? i doubt it.

[Jessev]

spanish banks. biggest and kinda the only meet of the year.

chicken carbonara ftw.

what would you be driving?

[mongoose]

miatas are great cars cuz they have good balance... putting a small block in it will make it un balanced.

yes

not quite... i mean, it'll be 53/47 with the kit i am looking at.
you can obtain 50/50 with another kit but cutting of firewall is required.
i still figure 53/47 is good enough.

i drive a little white '91 miata, i work at the shop opposite of quiznos.

ah yea, that big meet, my dad went to the last one, he has an ls1 rx7 fd. he had just finished it at the time and it still had an ugly yellow bumper from when he bought the shell... some of you may have seen it?

[Dunout]

pics ?

[89vert]

I've seen a few miata's with V8s in them around,

if you put some really quite exhaust it'd make 1 hell of a sleeper,

if you need help with wiring let me know, kind of my specialty

[Dunout]

there is a monster swap on the net somewhere with 5L in them

[89vert]

pretty sure the 1's I've seen have been 5L they sounded kind of like mustangs,

1's yellow and I seen 1 thats red

[IROC-Z]

I've got a binder with over 100 pages of useful info and wiring diagrams for LS1 swapping, let me know if you need a hand

[CamaroRobZ28beer]

drive really fast with your eyes closed

[steveo]

screw the ls1, buy a wrecked hayabusa for the motor and bottle feed it

ohhh

[SkullcrusherR7U]

yeah, having a 12000rpm redline would be fun. Go turboed busa. Guys are wringing 500plus hp from turboed busa motors. Not as reliabile as the Ls1 obviously.

[Andre]

im not a big fan of those monster miatas with the 5L's
i think lsx is much better engine
thanks for the offers with wiring, i may take them up when the time comes.
i dont really have any pics of my dads rx7, it has skinny wheels and still needs paint... old man has no taste :(

[Dunout]

paint your dads car for Xmas
