TIIiata build?

Has anyone ever done a 13b-T swap on a miata? Any shops that can do it? How much would it cost? And last question what would I need?!?!

A Miata. A 13bt. Lots of money. And little sense :P

I know at least you aren't the only one who's ever considered this, so there's a good chance there's some research if not actual work done on this very thing. Best of luck to you.

IIRC, the firewall has to be modified to fir the bell housing and rear of the motor.

Maybe this will help

why build one when there is one for sale... im sure you could get this one for atleast 50 cents on the dollar for what it would cost to build your own

Mazda Sport magazine had an article awhile back about someone with a 13bt in a Miata. Was a very nice and clean build. I believe the owner and builder for the car works for NASA. It's been awhile since I've read the article, though.
