Gotta be older than that. I swear I saw this on YouTube like 2-3 years ago after I got my Miata.

i have only had my car for bout a year and a half now..........besides thinking bout and seeing V8 swaps.....i have known about this motor for a long time now....and gears in my head started turning bout 6 months ago about swapping this motor into my car.

i wanted to get ahold of the motor and start playing with transmissions to mate to the engine, but this answered it for me!

I still have the issue of ForeverMX5 with the original write-up of this car.Probably the only cool thing in that magazine, lol. I think it's pretty ******* sick and possibly a perfect autocross miata.

Plus it sounds oohhhhh sooo sexy

When did you visit Bell?

That looks like where they were with it last spring...did they ever finish that monster? Was going to Hawaii right?

Just a pic from the website. And as to where it goes when done... not a clue .

I've never been able to get any extra info out of Corkey through PMs... but then again, I'm not really a customer and I can understand being busy at the shop.

Will be nice to have a 350z miata out there though... even if Bell isn't the first (assuming no progress since last updates).

That won't just be a VQ35 Miata, it will be a TURBO VQ35 Miata.

Corky must have been the one to tell me the owner shipped it in from Hawaii. I'm sure that thing will be a blast on the roads there.

I would love to see the 1st gen SHO V6 in there. Nice broad power band and tons of top end. Plus the intake setup looks weird/awesome on those.
