Perhaps we should make a thread entitled, "what performance car hasn't had an LS1 swapped into it?"
What a mad car!

The Lexus V8 is too heavy, tall, wide and complex and top heavy.
The LSx might just be the large capacity small block cam in block pushrod V8 at its pinacle.
All that is left is for GM to work VVT into the mix the way Dodge did with the Viper motor.

I think the wheelbase of the miata is too short for such a mad engine with such performance

a S2000 engine swap to the Miata is ideal.
(or just buy an S2000 LOL)
