Or maybe we should be on the topic of swapping a flat 4 in a miata.
Or maybe..... MAYBE. a F20C in a frs.

Lets see hours of fab work, wiring, troubleshooting OR forced induction copying the hundreds of builds already documented for similar money.
Cheapest F20C on ebay right now is $3k, $4k with tranny.
I get it, Miata with F20C can save a good what 500-600 lbs over an S2k, certainly a potent combo if well setup, S2k killer for under $10k if performance is the only requirement and you start with a cheap chassis.
Same deal with an 86, $4k on F20C+Tranny plus unknown labor, fab, wiring, troubleshooting, and for me emissions laws makes it unstreetable. Or $6k on a supercharger that puts ~240hp to the wheels instead of the crank that's emissions legal...
