LS1 motor is 40lbs heavier than a standard 1.8L motor out of a miata. No frame cutting, maybe some transmission tunnel grinding, and a different cross-member. Basically if you want 350+rwhp in a miata its cheaper to do an LSx swap lol.

I wander what size tires you can fit under the ft86 chassis, hopefully wide as holy hell lol.
I'm hoping for 275-285s in the rear. Would be completely sick to see someone fit a 305.
