Was thinking about this further and wanted to add that in my opinion a lot of these kits kinda defeat the purpose of buying a miata to begin with.
Yes, you absolutely can throw 15k+ at putting a V8 in one and a ton of other shit/money too. Orrrrr you could just buy a f'in corvette and get it over with.
Just seems like going that route defeats the point of what a Miata is.

I have a great forum for you. Its called miata.net

So you want to buy a corvette then dump $10k in it to fix what GM didn't get right in that chassis? Be my guest.

I'm gonna stick to the low running / repair cost life. Miata Is Always The Answer.

I...absolutely love this place.

Here is a rough cad model of the trans plate

So we're gonna do this, huh?

First ever CAD model of the transmission plate

Here we go

Indeed, whenever I have some free time I can try and get some rough models posted. I don't know how "exact" they will be but it's a starting point! I used this cad to cut a piece of wood on the cnc router. The outline isn't super accurate but the holes look pretty close

Don't sweat it. "Pretty close" is plenty good enough.

Yeah no worries, a rat-tail file and a couple of hours will clean that right up once you make one out of aluminum.

dude, just buy the kit, hell just buy my fucking kit for thousands off. complete setup.

yes it needs a custom oil pan, the engine needs to sit low. A K24 is a tall fucking engine and even with the custom subframe and oil pan you still gotta murder the hood and valve cover. the oil pan allows for a custom oil pump housing and pickup tube.

but seriously don't reinvent the wheel, just buy my shit.

While I do believe particle board bellhousing adapters are the future, I don't think we're quite there yet.

Sub'd for the particle board hood and front subframe!

In for group buy if it's NASA ST legal.

Well the issue is i cant "buy your fuckin kit" because you refuse to ship anything, i have already sent you a pm previously and asked about this.

I am not planning on creating a kit myself, simply providing some CAD of the trans bolt hole locations for others as no one has done this yet.

My dad has a CNC router so it was an easy and free way to test my CAD against the actual mounting plate haha

For those who dont have access to CAD, here are the hole locations i have measured.https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...16680928eb.jpg

damn dude.. yes.
