Miata with a V8

[bubsy83]

I am not sure this has been posted here yet, but I thought it was kind of neat.I am getting tired of the muscle heads mocking me in my MX-3 when I own a GM Muscle car as well and since I have dropped a brand new 350 crate in my Monte I thought about putting my old 305 in my MX-3 for kicks and do something similar...I realize it'll be a lot of work and there's a really good chance it probably won't fit/work, but thought it was a neat idea to try it...

Yeah they are called Monster Miata's a company in Cali used to produce them in the early 90's their logo's used to look like godzilla.

There's a 5.0L Miata around the Kitchener area.

Yes there is one in my area...Its pretty nice as well. Just something I would not do to a car that handles so great.

i remember i think it was 2 years ago at MOM there was a miata with the 5 liter in it that was prolly the one that mike was just saying about but it was one of those things that were always like an urban legend like people always talked about it but never ever saw it done but omg is it sex in real life with the huge 5.0 poppin out but its prolly a waste because it would be so sloppy thats basically the same as the videos on youtube of Fiero with the Northstar (Cadillac) engines in it I couldnt imagine that being able to really get anywhere

actually all that power to weight would be nice....it would be flying. Of course I would definitely redo the chassis as stock one would not be imaginable to have with that kind of power.

I've seen this one a few times, it'll haul... GA Plates FTW

Northstars in Fieros is nothing. That swap has been done so many times now you could swear they came from the factory with them. If you wanna see a crazy swap. How about a Northstar in a MKII Golf

Those Northstar V8's are JUNK , they have headgasket problems every other week, my buddy who works at a dealer says the shop stays open because they replace so many heads on those .
