Plans have changed. The 302 has turned into an LS1. We started putting LS engines in Miatas at Flyin’ Miata and I kinda turned into a fan of the engine. So instead of using an old Mustang for a donor, I picked up a 1998 Camaro.
The plan is to put Miata suspension and steering up front, an S10 rear axle in the back (converted to 4x100 bolt pattern) and then fit the engine and transmission.
