Mustang 302 in a miata is a nice swap. Doesn't cost crazy money either if you find a miata with a blown engine. Run's 12's stock with good driver and only adds 200lbs to the car when it's finished, so it can either be a monster on the 1320 or an awesome track car. www.v8miata.com

HOLY CRAZY MIATA!!!!! but I like the phrase on that page.

"Mad Engineering Where Too Much Horsepower Is Not Enough!"

nope...not really
no engine swap into any honda/acura is badass
more like as common as grass in rural areas...or sand in the desert

Whereas engine swaps with J-bodies are so rare because their owners are usually dumb ricers who inherited the car from their parents, and don't know how to drive a manual transmission car properly, let alone change an engine.

I dislike how common Honda swaps are just as much as the next guy, but I can appreciate how good the B-series and K-series engines are and why so many people want to swap one into their car. If you disagree and say these engines are crap, then we'll know that you obviously have never driven a car powered by one.
