Default ....and yet another swap story

Hi all,

I am from Houston, TX, and got this aenemic little Miata that needs a heart transplant. The engine du jour seems to be the LS1 which I prefer over the aging Mustang equipment option.

I am looking for as much advice and to learn about the LS1 as I can before digging in (also save up some cash for the job). I am a DIYer, but I know my limitations, and would also be looking for a shop with the big items (engine hoist, space, blow torches) to help with the conversion.

It seems like a great forum with lots of info, and I hope to give back as well, by utilising the sponsors where possible and sharing with you all about my journey.

I'd like to thank a GTO owning friend of mine for showing me the light...helping me stay poor.

Welcome!, I'm an active poster in the Hybrid section. THere is at least one other Miata in progress so help is avilable. Look forward to seeing progress on your project!
