Here is an intersting article on putting a 3.0L Duratec motor in a Miata.

Looks like fun to me.

That's a great article.

I love how the 3.0 Duratec actually fits in there. Looks amazingly stock too.

Remember, it's a 3L Duratec, and a tuned one at that (200/200 stock at the crank). I can attest that on a car that small the torque would be more than sufficient. Not 302 torque, but plenty good none the less.
