Probably sounds stupid I don't really have a power goal... as much as possible?? lol
As for ETA, should be running this fall, I still have tons of other random stuff I will do once it's running though. Right now I've got everything I have ordered thus far. Just waiting on funds to pick up the other stuff on the list up there. I'm trying to find a builder in the TX area that I can trust.

Yea I had called him, we kind of had a plan made too. He told me to email him exactly what I wanted so I did. Well now 2 emails and 2 weeks later still nothing. I would expect a bit more contact than that if he is going to be playing with a two or so thousand dollars of mine. Sucks I live kind of out in the middle of nowhere, cause I could just stop in and be like, hey wtf. But I can't, so I need to find someone that isn't completely off the grid for two weeks or more until I can stop in at the shop or get a hold of them. Maybe I'm dreaming.

In case anyone was wondering a 1.8 Miata engine fits very easily in the back of a Honda Fit. I had my doubts... not that it would fit, but I'd be able to get the hoist far enough in there. Went very smooth. So I now have my 99 donor engine 
Let the fun begin.

Well still haven't heard back, and hasn't answered his phone either. I think I will be assembling the block myself. Just need to find a machine shop.

Cool, man! I'll be watching this thread intently (for a couple of reasons).
Can't wait to see what this thing will put down (our 800cc injectors).
...and I have a '99 10th, so this is relative to my personal interests.

Glad to have you guys watching. I feel an obligation to make this a great setup because of three parts:
First Tims Parallel TT setup.
Second the 800cc DWInjectors
Third gotpsi?'s super awesome intake manifold.
So hopefully I can live up to the expectations! A lot more parts ordered today.. Pics when they arrive.
