This question has boggled my mind for quite some time. If you can fit a Ford V8 5.0 litre engine into a Miata... Is it possible to put one into an MX-3 ???<P>------------------<BR>Edgar Paredes

1st of all the mx-3 is a FWD car so no. <BR>With enough $$ you can do anything.<BR><P>------------------<BR>Barry Clark<BR><I><B>Moderator</B></I><BR>1995 Mazda Mx-3 RS<BR>Chaste White<BR><A HREF="http://www.barrykclark.com" TARGET=_blank>barrykclark.com</A> <BR> custommx3@usa.net

i totally forgot the miata was rear wheel. foolosh me

hell no what are you thinking.your modifications will tear your frame up. a miata doesnt even have the mass to hold such an engine.you wouldnt need a v8 if you would make that thing a twin turbo. as a mater of fact an rx7 engine would be alot faster than an american v8. try to stay light man.

A V8 was put into a MIATA in South Africa I believe - plus it was running a shot of NOS or 7 - I heard it went like stink - I think it pulled consistent 12's on the 1/4 - but why talk about MX-5's when we can talk about MX-3's ??????

V8 Miata's have been done ask a couple of Miata owners if i t can be done. I seen a couple of them sell on eBay.

my buddy's dad brought out a 5.0 miata with 200 shot of nos to the street races this season.

Well, you CAN change the MX-3 over to a RWD, but it's soo much work that it is almost not worth it. After that, the engine should be small enough for the area, but you will probably have to move a lot to the back, or other places. Although, I'm sure someone is going to contradict everything I say anyways, so you might as well just try it.<P>~A
