Would you do a V8 Swap? What would throw in one of these tiny Miatas?

I would love to do a 9k rpm 289 aluminum sbf with a 6spd organic dual clutch and a 9" ford lsd. Granted the upgraded suspension, wheels, tires, etc. $8k for solid starter chassis and another $50k for the extras. If labor was done by me then it is still way cheaper than anything new today that could compare. If a trustworthy shop did it then another $30k for labor? So $80k for a killer Miata? Sounds like a bargain. Or as you say dirt cheap you could possibly make out with a good $10k of second hand parts and pieces. Any way you go about it you end up having fun.

I LOVE the idea of a modern Shelby cobra, solid reliability, parts availability, and the ultimate sleeper. It gets to the point though where a built miata 1.6 and a moderate turbo setup would be reliable enough and far less money. That sound though!

Great Idea Im glad you did this. I can't believe I didn't do a video like this for most of my projects. Oh wait now I remember, I didn't want to know how much my dumb a$$ spent on my crazy addiction.

Yeah I'd do swap. Cheap Miata, wrecked early 00s corvette. Call up my cousins that weld for a living, and then throw it in my paint booth and she's ready to go

Prices are though the roof currently. Not a bad plan though. LS one is next for me!
