Man I wish I had that much room underhood to work with, sweet.

My first V8 conversion about 20 years ago was a 240Z with a high perf Ford 289.

My current is an 2006 Corvette LS2 in a 1994 Miata. I had already installed a 2000 LS1 see old pic, but will have the LS2 in within the next week or so.

Again like everybody said, Nice ZZZZZZZZ Man!!!!!!

i love the way the engine is mostly behind the shock towers and the steering rack is in front. Engine looks nice and low too. Should handle really well. Nice work.

Thank's again everyone!

I have been looking @ those miatas of yours,They are one of a kind.
Got to love the power to weight ratio,I have a Ford festiva TURBOcharged with 200 hp.That thing only weighs around 1900lbs.
