Oil pan, intake manifold, exhaust manifod for sure need to be swapped for the Miata pieces.

[http://www.solomiata.com/Mx5Engine.html](http://www.solomiata.com/Mx5Engine.html) has useful info.

I’ll have either all the miata-specific parts you’d need or an entire 1.8l miata engine available in the next week or so.

I’ve got one.

In the interest of full disclosure- came out of a front-end collision car. The sway bar was contacting the crank pulley, but I checked the play with a dial gauge, came to less than .001" to each side and .0065" front to back. From my research, this is within spec.

PM’d you my contact info.
