T2 engine, the rest NA
I know that the NA drive train is only good for about 250hp MAX. But Im afraid my engine with 157k on it is on its last leg. I want more power like the rest of us. But I am not looking to make a monster since I want to keep it a daily driver. Im gonna get a T2 or an FD for a weekend racer later. What kinda problems and pieces will I need to mix and match with to make this work. Or did I get given something not quite legal at my last party with out my knowledge????
Anyone with some good knowledge like Ted, Brad, anyothers $.02 is welcome to chime in on this.

the NA drivetrain is not as fragile as some people think. There are a lot of miatas pushing 300-350+ HP on the stock tranny and rear end.

I have TII engine with NA tranny
(Must change flywheel and front counterwieght to use NA tranny)
I ran it good with stock clutch
as soon as I put in a Heavy Duty clutch
I blew 2 trannys in less then a week
Time for a TII tranny for me
You can use a TII tranny with a auto driveshaft
and it will bolt to the NA rear...

Paul,
You got all the TII stuff right? I'll help ya swap the drivetrain out any time- you can do that BEFORE you do the motor if you want.
Got a place to do it right? Or do we have to wait until I move in to the new place to have a garage?

Thanks Brad,
I did have a T2 and tranny but I was offered twice what I paid for it one night out at Kenedale. So Im actually back to looking again for another engine. But I do have a place to do it but I think the driveway would be way too steep. but Im hopefully gonna start lookig for a place after the first assuming I can find a permanate position again. I hate contract work.

the na and TII rear are diffrent
size wise
hmm maybe I have it wrong
it could be you can use auto drive shaft on na trany with TII diff
since the TII diff is longer then the na one
