Default MX-5 ND G184 3.7L V6 LFX swap

One of our bigger projects this year:

This MX-5 ND G184 gets a full engine swap to a 3.7L V6 LFX Camaro engine with transmission. And we use the car to develop a safety rollbar for the MX-5 ND, also to attache 4-point-harnesses.









Best regards

Nice! What details can you share? Did you use the reputed V8R kit that they're not offering to the public yet but are doing for certain pro installs, or did you forge a path yourself? I have an LFX swapped NB and am curious to see how it fits into an ND. Nice way to get around that weak transmission!

That looks like an LLT engine.
