yeah the way it should feel :S dude, u only messed up the perfect handeling an weight distribution by throwing to much weight in the front. put in a 13B and will talk again;

@Ninosilvio: weight distribution is essentially unchanged. Scroll down to read comments from the builder. The video in this car was his first build. Since then he has built four more. Each one sold fairly quickly.

I didn't know putting a 5.0L V8 in a space designed for less than 2.0L was something lazy people do.

Lazy is a cold air intake, rims and a body kit.

Weight distribution and balance don't get affected that much. Check other videos of monster miatas on the track, they handle very well and it sounds like a V8 miata to me not a motorboat.

im very sorry that i pissed everyone of with my comment ;) im just such a mazda fan, and i just hate it when people just ADD more weight even if it gives more performence. its just not the point of an mx5 ;)

@Powersproductions130

but it runs on double cream ;) you HAVE to REV the shit out of these engines, thats what makes them good ;)

I say there needs to be a Turbo f20c conversion !! ot a k24a2 conversion

[JD0x0]

@Ninosilvio I think the LS1 swaps with all the bracing and beefed up drivetrain only adds 150lbs total to the car. And seeing as you need to beef up the diff and driveshaft, not all that weight is in the front. The original ironblock is quite heavy. Anyway I think a miata would be better suited with a naturally aspirated 20B than a 13B.

what kind of mpg are you getting on this thing?

[Powersproductions130]

@Ninosilvio ROTARY ENGINES SUCK!!!!!!!!!! They have NO (i repeat NOOOO) power low to mid range! He made a good choice.

[hootblah]

@Ninosilvio your a retard. you know nothing research your shit before looking retarded. ls1 engines that people swap in only weigh 40 more pounds than the 4 cylinder
