Post your question in the "conversions and hybrids" forum and HOPE that someone has answers. You are going to find very few off the shelf parts to help you. It sounds like you have a interesting conversion going, but you wil definitely get a lot of use out of a plasma cutter and tig welder.

How that you are in the correct forum. Search for what you need, as there are a few Miata guys here, oh.. and teh internet is also a good place to find information (Yahoo and Google). If you then don't find it.. then ask away... but don't expect a step by step swap guide here.. it would take way to long and too much time.

Let us know what phase your in?
Ask a direct question and you get a direct answer!
What problems are you having now.
What options do you you think you have and if you want a opinon on it

Good luck

Dude......., there are a lot of good people on this board that offer assistance to just about anyone & everyone whom asks. Understaning that you're frustrated, specific questions in place of emotion, will serve you better.

My LS6 powered Miata was built from the ground up. The K frame, sub-frame bracing, suspension, & rear end are the most important parts required in building a successful LS6 powered Miata that drives & handles well. If your plan is to stick an LS1/T-56 into a Miata w/ a stock rear end & no suspension or frame modifications, I can't help. Handling will not be what it should be. Where is it that you need help?

Isn't there a "Kit" for this conversion? Are you using it, or did you just buy a Miata and an LS1 and now you're stuck?

I was very close to doing an LS1 miata until I found a good deal on an '85 RX7.
