Well, I am taking time off from my Yaris after I get my exhaust put together.
Reasons being, I dont really need to do a lot more to my Yaris, it runs great and looks good... So after the Exhaust I am switching my priorities to what I want to call "Project Mighty Mouse"

Think This...

With This...

This photo was taken from a Miata with the motor already mounted inside the engine bay, still have some room.

This is my mainfront for the next while till its done. Thinking a year in the works. Im still undecided between the 5.0L or a 350 Small block Carb.
I saw videos of one and just couldnt resist.
So now I have been saving pennies.

Just some spec's: With the base 250hp 5.0L Mustang V8 you get a 1/4mile time of 12.4 sec, thats with the stock Miata. Im wanting about 350hp, this will be rebuilding the motor of course.

Will try to keep you all updated.

Yea, there is a kit out there that has all the mount conversions and a vast majority of the replacement parts in order to fit, New Oil pan, etc. Only thing you MUST replace is the airbox, the stock intake doesnt fit at all.
