This has always been what I thought a proper engine swap for a Miata. Shandelle, I would like to have a look see of this project.
There is a member on miataturbo that has done a swap using an MZR motor. Turns101 I believe is his username.

This car is housed in TN. Steve and I have discussed the street version and will most likely look into it after we've put some time on track with this car.
Hmmmm, mid-front engine NC powered ND
NA weight + NC power = WIN !! :slayer:
I will reserve judgement on the ND motor until I see it, but 1.5L does not sound very promising for power gains
Any updates on this...I've got an 06 Motor and 5-Speed trans just sitting in the shed waiting on something to do...
We moved focus to finish the LFX for MRLS. The car just rolled of the lift today, but hasn't had running time yet.
Shandelle, you said that the NC Engine has to be pushed back 3 inches behind the firewall to use the stock NA Shifter hole?
Is there not a way to make a custom engine plate extender for the transmission to extend the engine forward 3 inches?
maybe something like what is being used on the K-Series motor swap? http://www.shop.kmiata.com/Engine-Ad...-KM-ADP-ST.htm
Lots of other variables to take into account:
Adapter
Input shaft to work with adapter
New drive shaft
Oil pan to rack clearance
and on and on and on.... cost goes up with each.
