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

dude, just buy the kit, hell just buy my ******* kit for thousands off. complete setup.
yes it needs a custom oil pan, the engine needs to sit low. A K24 is a tall ******* 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 ****.

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.
