Default next project

im a having a hard time on deciding on my next project, i will have a spare 302 laying around and could put it into a miata, or i could find a junkyard that would trade me my 302 for a v10....yeah do the math

option 1
302 miata/ escort

option 2
415CI v10 into a fox body/ SN95

this project is planned 3-5 years in advance, and i posted it here cuz i like you guys best.

Feel Special!

Do the Miata. There's a place I heard about on Gearz (with Stacy David) called Monster Miata. They have kits to bolt it in.

More of a weekend than a project, but it'd be cool. I'm 6'4" and 250, so won't work for me.

why would you want neither? 415 CI of raw power? 310hp 425ftlbs inside a 2200lb shell= 3000lbs of victory.....about handling .......a muscle car isnt supposed to handle lke a Italian sports car.....raw power is my goal......and if you do some research on the v10 you'll see there are plenty of performance pars for it now.....the bore and stroke are 90.2mmX105.7mm (4.16in) which is the exact same as the bore/stroke of the new king the shelby gt 500, so internal parts are easy enough to come by. intake can be ported/polished headsshaved and ported, headers i can have custommade turbos i can install wiring just takes time, budget.......whatever.
