03 lightning swap...

[Willis_98GT]

i have the chance to get this engine w/ blower and everythign for 500$

pretty much just a 5.4 swap right? nothing wrong with having a eatoned torque montster? cept it will prob destory my t-45 and stock rear.

worth it or not? what do i have to look into and consider to make it fit?

 

[nesqwick_05]

worth it= yes
what you need=time and a big ass cowl hood... the motor will fit, but will stick outta the stocker 4 inches if i remember right... so i believe you need a 6" cowl unless u dont mind cutting it...

 

[reivaxtorres]

i would cut it :hammer:

Definitely worth it. Even if you don't use it you can sell it for a profit ;D

:hammer: you would have no traction in a miata, not to mention the front would be pointing straight down, haha

Do it! Don't bother with a cowl, there isn't that will fit it anyway, just cut it.

BTW that car was in the King of the Street comp awhile back, very impressive performer. And it belong's to the woman in the pic, not her husband.
