Stacy David who host a car show called GEARZ. Put a FORD small block into a Miata. It made a very quick and agile car. You can check it out at gearztv.com.
It depends on the amount of money and what how fast you want to go.
I have heard the Miata engines are very reliable. A turbo or supercharger is fairly straight forward and will give you instant and constant power. Both have advantages and drawbacks.
An LS engine swap would be very cool. You will also have a very good platform which to build on. I would say that the cost of doing the LS swap with a trans would be in the neighborhood of about, $3,000 to $4,000. That would include the engine and trans, and all of the other stuff to complete the swap. You should be able to get an engine and trans for around $1,500 to $2,000. You can pay less but it will be more labor and rebuild. You will probably need a new oil pan and headers. You will have to modify you fuel tank and will have to get the wiring harness modified also. I did an LS swap into my 69 el Camino. It is a 5.3 out of a 2002 Silverado with a 4L60E. What a difference.
Whatever you decide to do, have fun doing it.
BillWhat the best bang for your buck for a 2000 Miata: Turbocharger, Supercharger, or LS v8 upgrade?
check with mazda dealers, they can offer you some good things on after market stuff,if not they can tell you where to look.turbo's are good for making power with out using the engine, the supercharger is good too the only draw back is you have to use power from the engineWhat the best bang for your buck for a 2000 Miata: Turbocharger, Supercharger, or LS v8 upgrade?
I don't think the V8 route would be the way to go in a street vehicle. It would end up being a nose-heavy tire smoking beast.The only way to correct it would be some major engine setback. I would probably go with a belt driven super charger. They don't have the lag like a turbo does.
go with the LS V8.
