| Well i decided to redo my Miata. It needed some work. Now I got carried away. I'm going to put a small block checvrolet motor in it. This is a quick webpage just to document some of what I am doing. |
 |
| Well here is the Miata with the engine removed. Lots of room in there for a small block. Body work will be last. I still have a lot of work to do to cleanup the engine compartment. |
