Default LSx into '06 Miata?

Is any one aware of a company that might make a kit for new miata? LS2 in one would be a riot!

I currently do not know of anyone with a LSx '06 Miata...
I do know that Martin is working on a kit for a 5.0 '06... but I'm not a fan of fords...
I'm sure someone out there has an LSx new Miata or is in the process of building one...

Have some fun and go fast!!!

No lsx's have been put in the newr 3rd gen miata bodies as of yet. There are few 1990's models on here that have done the conversion themselves. No kit....except the one from diamondmotorsports for the 2nd gen body. Here is my conversion....to give you an idea what had to be done. www.ls1miata.net/gallery

I am building a ls6 383 right now......!!!! Big fun in a small car!

Sorry for my post earlier but I was just informed that Diamond Motorsport no longer makes a kit the Miata and is going out of business...

ouch... that puts me at a stand still for a while...

guess I'll just have to fab everything myself!

I bet there is another kit our there though just need to do some searching...
