[MSCW list] MSCW Digest, Vol 107, Issue 1

Sat May 3 00:14:05 CEST 2025

Hi:  While I don't have a Miata Engine, I do have a "nice" replacement - A
Lexus all-aluminum V8.  4.2L with 250+hp, top speed electronically-limited
to 155mph.

I have a complete 1991 LS400 engine, trans, wiring harness, and computer.
One big surprise = it fits under the stock hood!

If you're interested in building such a "sleeper" machine (It has already
been done before.) then send me an email.

Jim
