Yes, there are kits & there are a few threads here w/garage links that show what some have done. If the search function of this site is working correctly for once, you will be able to do a search, in this section, for Miata & find a good link.

No, but, it's no big deal. Mine was built w/ both. They fit easily.

You won't get 50/50 without moving engine too far into the trans tunnel to reach the rear plugs. 53/47 is about average. Although, some of us have reached 51.5/48.5. Regardless, corner balancing is more important. Can also look on Miata.net in the engine conversion section. A few of the members have garage links.
