    I know someone building one of these that would give him similar hp/lb as a Zo6, IIRC.

    I love this swap because the Honda K series just seems like the perfect engine to suit the Miata's small, fun nature. It would be amazing for racing because of how smooth it is, that it doubles the power of the factory engines, and the high rpm revs are not only fun, but keeps the rpms high between shifts. I was telling my father who races his Porsche 911 with me that it really is amazing that I spent $4200 on my car, modified it in my shed with money I got from waiting at a restaurant, and pass (or at least keep up with) ~90% of the people at our local race track. Thats with 115ish whp, so I can't imagine how quick it would be a smooth engine like the K20 with double the whp.
