I know the guy that originally designed the kits to put 5.0, LSX, and early 4.6 V8's into the Monster Miata's (Nick Manning).

Knowing how difficult that was, I would be extremely interested to see how anyone crammed a 5.4 GT500 motor in a Miata.

That would have rendered the Miata completely useless for the amount of weight and power in the front, and the severe lack of traction out back.

Waiting on pics.

This. I did a lot of research into building one of these Miata's with my Dad and there is basically no way (99% sure) a GT500 drivetrain fit in a Miata. This guy is peeing on our leg and telling us its raining!

There's a few videos of DOHC 4.6 in a Miata. Looks like a mark VIII motor... I know the 5.4 has a taller deck height.

OP has this amazing car collection and wild builds but miraculously can't manage to find one picture to show anybody. Maybe they don't have cameras in Yemen?

I just think everyone wants to see pics of your rides. With 4100 plus posts, you have posted on here quite a bit, just sayin.

no response to anyones ideas. no pictures of his cars... Only responses so far from OP are him backlashing at people who are calling him out. This thread will end up in smackdown.
