Building a reliable drift motor. Please give your input!
Too bad someone doesnt mass produce a shaft and 20b housing for cheap... I think alot more people would run them. Your looking at 8k very minimum to get a motor built with no aftermarket stuff.

The rear dowl pin area near the oil filter.

Didn't realize the OP was asking what engine swap I should do? O and someone wanna let Kiiechi Tsuchiya that he can't drift because he was in a Hachi, or all the guys I know who have drifted stock NA miatas. The unfortunate part is there is a lot of good info with a cluster **** of idiots posting off topic bs.... to the OP anything new going on?
Just out of curiosity, what wheel specs are you running in the rear?
I kinda went all out in my motor. I bought a dynamically balanced rotating assembly with low mile scalloped rotors. Opted for ceramic 3mm seals, omp delete, a nice large street port but nothing crazy. Over built? Maybe...but with water meth injection, a good tune and all my heat exchangers.... This motor should last me a while even at 450ish whp. I'll keep everyone updated.
Full rebuild and street-port with all new motor parts, soda blasted/cleaned for. 3600 shipped. I bought a rotating assembly seperate with almost new 3mm rotors that have been scalloped, and the NRS 1pc 3mm ceramic seals came with it...as well as some atkins 3mm seals. And it was dynamically balanced by Atkins Rotary ...that assembly cost me 1850.00 after all was said and done shipped.
I just spent half an hour cleaning up this thread, keep it on track kids and the name-calling to a minimum. Engine swap conversions pertaining to reliability for drifting are OK just keep it peaceful.
