i bought the engine!! wish me luck(might be a one of a kind)

everyone... im trying to be a first as i know it.
by late april i hope to be the first 20B rotary single turbo miata. Alot of custom work going into this one people. Should be pretty!!! Engine should be on the way in about 16hrs. Lil testing on sight and its off!!!

keep those fingers crossed and im looking for a backup 20b in the mean time if ya know of one.... Found 6 in the US 1 at customs now.
thanks,
bryan

its a 1990 miata
quick question...
i might tryand pull off one of those wireless engine bays.
To paint or not to paint?
first before the engine is in the car.....
PAINT right?
now the colour is the hard part for me.
non-metalic but what colour....
im buying a digital camera FOR this project.
The car was built thus far from the back to the front.

ford rear in the car already w/ custom steel axles (rated at about7-800hp) I see traction as the issue at that point

I think someone did a racecar like that, ran it in qualifying @ the 24 hrs. Daytona a few years ago, bum fuel pump kept them out of race
