Need to remember that contrary to popular belief the FA24 is not the same engine as the FA20. Many people seem to think they are just a bigger yet identical engine.

There's a 1.5L version of ND Miata, right?
As for FA20 vs FA24 compatibility — sure. However, there's also a difference between after-the-fact engine swap, and a factory-designed interchangeability. I can't imagine the 1st gen and 2nd gen bodies to be so dramatically different that they couldn't design how to support both FA20 and FA24.
