No, the piece of **** V8 conversion that was discussed here:
https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-parts-sale-trade-5/v8-miata-ls1-miata-%2410500-dothan-al-49867/
I got it off ebay for $8150. He's replaced the clutch and fixed the headlights since posting that CL ad.
Yehaw!

I will admit that although I don't like some of the parts on the car, your buy in for a running LS1 miata was about a 1/3rd of the price it is building it yourself...... And that makes me envious

Not a bad price at 8k. PLEASE put a new hood on it and reroute the intake.

Yeah, I hope the gamble pays off. I've passed up a few V8s because they were too rough. This one seems like a little massaging will get it (well, the new setup) to where it needs to be. I'll probably drive the car for a year or so before I completely disassemble it. I really wanted to do it all myself but it still won't be an easy road ahead. I think I'll be able to call it "my project" when I finish.

Yeah, if you know me, I'll definitely have a few pictures and web pages devoted to the build. Hell, I've got 126 pictures devoted just to my Geo Metro engine rebuild on my web page!

I have a total of 36k in debt, including the student loans I've taken out for my masters degree. This amount will increase significantly when my wife and I buy a home next year. However, her entire salary will go to the mortgage once she finishes college and starts working.

Just got my property tax notice in the mail the other day....that SUCKED. Our first year of property tax was rolled into the closing cost so it was "hidden" last year. Not this year.
I understand the purpose of property taxes, but it sure does **** me off that regardless of who "owns" the property (me or the bank), the state can just take it away unless I continue to pay them off every year for the right to not have my property seized.

I can't comprehend property taxes, it's a tax to live. Food and clothing are tax exempt in most states, why not exempt property tax? I'm scared to death that Ill work my entire life, retire, and be taxed out of my home..
