That’s the question we had as soon as we got our LFX-powered Miata running, and even though we knew the answer courtesy of the internet, we still had a tiny nugget of hope in the back of our minds: Maybe, just maybe, we’d get lucky and the V6 would magically fit under the stock Miata hood.
Yeah, uh, no. This …
Great job guys! I have been very interested in the LFX powerplant for a variety of projects I am working on. I know it is probably in the article features of the build, but what did you do for a transmission? Original Miata or another donor? Thanks and keep up the great work! Your features on chassis building, designing, and printing parts are out of this world :)
Last, I am sure I am going to frustrate some people, but, yes Tom Suddard, I am more than willing to step up as did the loyal GRM advertisers like Tire Rack and others; so yo can raise my subscription $10 to $20 annually as I get 10 times that back in enjoyment and content.
Keep up the GREAT works!
In reply to V8 Road Racing West :
Thank you for the kind words. And we'll get some transmission answers for you right away.
Typically the transmission used is the one already attached to the LFX in its original application. Stronger than the Miata unit and no adapters required.
That hood is a good option, nice work Treasure Coast.
I dunno about this, I feel like you missed out on an opportunity to make a shaker hood here 
Just read the entire thread from start to finish and looking forward to more. The MV5 transmission sounds like a nice unit, similar to the AR5.
Glad you found the transmission answer, and glad you like the project! We're excited to get it on track.
You'll need to log in to post.
