If you were in the states I might recommend a GM LFX. You might consider a Honda K-series swap as it's already been fully developed, taking out any guess work and I'm pretty sure you could get one in The Netherlands.

Exactly my thoughts as well; but hey, it is not our build ;)
4 cylinder Honda? That’s a big no way!

I am just wondering how much more (if any) an LFX swap would be. That being said, the Rocketeer kit seems really well done. I like the small details like a proper cast sump pan etc.; to me they add to the total quality of the build.
I think I have to look into the lfx option more. But I somehow get a feeling it is too much for me personally. No decision made yet. But as you said, the quality of the rocketeer kit is what appeals to me.

What about the V6 from the Chevy Camaro, its 320 N/A horsepower
This is a 0 to 100mph pull. just sayin
LINK to more videos, I can remove all this banter if you desire, just something to think about.

Saw the car at the trailer at the Sevenum meeting this weekend. Buy the way, it was worth it like last year.
I drove the way from Germany with my Eunos. Your car is coming along nicely. Keep up the work.
Last weekend was the deadline to get the Pitcrewbuild exterior presentable for the Miatas at Sevenum festival in the Netherlands. Didn't think we would make it, but we did it, more or less! 500 mx5's attended the event. Both my cars were at the entrance, which was a big honour!

I know I told you this in real life as well, but as far as I'm concerned the only suitable engine for this jdm parts bin build is a klze .

The watanabes on both of these roadsters look so good.
