Looks I might be taking a break on the yerf build to build something just a little bigger, an LS1 Miata swap. A buddy of mine has a couple miatas and bought a z-28 for donor parts. The car has been sitting at a friend of his' shop for over a year without being touched, besides snatching the stock drivetrain out. All the while, he has been gathering parts and pieces for the new power train, needless to say, he is getting anxious, so I will likely be doing the swap in my garage. Luckily, he has money, and knows he needs to buy the remaining swap parts pretty much as soon as it arrives here at the house, which is drive shaft and CV axles.
Besides locating a few tools I was already looking to buy, and making some space, I am hunting for any and all road blocks and snags I might run into with this sort of swap. I included the company link for the swap parts, and the instructions included with them for your consideration. FYI, he already planned to drop the A/C and power steering, so that makes it a bit simpler, plumbing and space wise.
