I know I already posted this link in another thread, but I figured it deserved it's own thread considering how important the implications are.

The K-series engines keep going down in price, and there's no denying they're superior in many ways. Before anyone brings up LSx swap, read the thread. They guy already has the block mated to stock miata 6 speed torsen. The steering rack is going to be moved forward 4". Guy plans on offering a kit which is only going to consist of custom tubular subframe, trans adapter hardware (there's pics already), exhausts, harness for k-pro. It is a lot less work than swapping a v8.
If they hit their target of a $3k kit. I'd say there's no longer a point to building BPs. It's less work than an LSx, while being even lighter than the BP. The K-series can make legitimate NA power, more than a BP with nearly unlimited budget. It handles boost well too, as well as fully built BPs.
