1992 Monster Miata 5.0 v-8

Engine: It's a stock Ford 5.0L EFI V8. It has a K&N cone style air filter assembly attached to the stock MAF, under drive pullies, and JBA headers. A full custom stainless steel dual exhaust through Magnaflow mufflers provides an aggressive tone. Oh, and did I forget to mention the 100 shot NX wet kit?

Cooling: A custom aluminum three row radiator sits behind two 12 inch Spal fans.

Transmission: More Ford-sourced goodies in the form of a World Class T5Z 5 speed, with a Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, and a lightened aluminum flywheel.

Rearend: A Ford 7.5 inch IRS rear end housing from a T-Bird is home for a limited slip unit and 3.27:1 gears, and combines with custom cut half shafts that have been cryogenically frozen and hardened.

That thing is nuts. I would of never thought that you could fit a 5.0 in there so well. Dosent even look cramped. Sweet ride.
