This text here makes me think it's not likely to be an easy swap
Most folks with an RS seem to aim towards a BPT or other B series engine swap if they want more zoom zoomI get a lot of questions about Miata interchangabilty with the 1978-92 626/MX6 and B series truck motors because of the larger 2.0 liter displacement. Here's the scoop as I know it.
The ‘F’ motors (F,FE,F2, FS) are larger in both bore spacing and deck height than the ‘B’s are are mostly unrelated. Little to nothing will interchanges between the 'B' and 'F' motors, even the bellhousing bolt pattern is different from the 'B' motors.
