The V8 Banshee Miata

[— Phatmiata —]

This was done a while ago and I thought it was a great build. If you look in the 'Engine Swap' section there is a thread in which someone asked which motor is best for a swap, apparently the Ford V8 motor swap is too heavy and for poor people.

Aren't you using some "lighter" version of the Ford motor in your Miata? details?

Some aluminum heads is the only big weight savings that I have. My intake is about the same weight as the GT40 intake. Odd that the consensus on the FMC motor is that but overall the car gained 206 lbs. I know drivers that weight more than that! Guess that I am still slow, fat and poor.

We need to get you the full Mega Monster Miata bodykit, would looks sexy as hell, and since you already have the Ford motor installed you have already completed the hardest part.

Isn't that bumper similar to the one you just got? Those don't look like fender flares, custom bodywork?

That was a complete kit they used to sell, they are fenders flares but are bonded to the car and painted to make them appear factory, the nose is similar to what I got but a bit beefer looks, and flares out to meet the flares.
