5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
It's a very unique swap and a full weight Miata is a LOT lighter than a full weight fox and better aerodynamics from what I can see. My boss is the one that actually built the car for the guy. He likes putting motors in things where they don't belong. He did that 5.0 HO miata swap, a 350 SBC swap in a mid 80's porsche (that thing is fast as hell!), he's doing a 350 SBC swap into my other bosses Ferrari F40 Koeniggedition (kit car mind you ). He's done a few others but they're not as drastic as those others.
