OK guys, cut the ego crap, I've been building back yard V-8 conversions for 35 years, American V-8 into European cars, (Maserati 3500/406 chev., TR-7/Buick 215, AC ace/454 chev., MGB/215 Buick, Volvo/chev 350, cobra kit/350 chev, and many US V-6 to V-8 projects, have given up this time consuming and expensive hobby and am now a reired merchant seaman, but I have a Mazda Miata that is nothing but an updated Lotus Elan, and now want to do it one more time - a Buick 215 alum. v-8 swap which will blow the doors off your high priced ego trips, I've always worked on a back yard budget, never more than a few thousand $ for a complete swap, (I build everything myself and use wrecking yard engines) but damn, I can't find a 215 alum. V-8 anywhere! I want a Buick/Olds, not a Rover, anybody?? Besides, cars should be fun & cheap because I just tear them up anyway. And the Miata is a great car, drive one and quit sniveling. My high school car (1966) was a Sunbeam Tiger that I sold for $900. Kick me
