Talking 1992 Monster Miata 302, 5-speed

Selling my Monster Miata with a 302 V8 swap. It's a poor man’s AC Cobra!

Year: 1992

Make: Mazda

Model: Miata MX5

Engine: Ford 5.0/302 (from an 89 Mustang), .30 over 1993 Cobra crank and rods, forged pistons, new bearings and seals, camshaft, crankshaft. I was told the horsepower was ~370 from the guy that built the motor, but I have not substantiated this

Heads: 195 Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads with 1.95 and 2.02 valves with upgraded springs and rockers.

Camshaft: Comp Cams Xtreme Energy 493/500 lift

Fuel: FiTech Go EFI 4 fuel injection system on aluminum intake with Ford Racing tall rocker covers. Ready for boost/nitrous; has all the controls and tuning capabilities right at your fingertips with the digital display

Trans: Ford World Class T-5, freshly rebuilt with new bearings and new Ford Racing flywheel, Stage 2 clutch, hydraulic clutch slave, custom drive shaft

Diff: Ford 8.8 rear differential with 355 gears and custom chromoly axles with upgraded wheel hubs

Exhaust: Headers with side pipes

Paint: It is factory red, it looks like it was repainted once, but could use it again

Wheels: 15x7 aftermarket (unknown brand)

Tires: Accelera 205/50 ZR15 89WXL rear

Other: It has a Hard Dog rollbar, new trunk-mounted battery, MSD ignition, custom V8 Miata seats, aftermarket hood scoop

Price: $12,000

This car runs and drives and it's a sleeper…and most importantly – it is FAST. I have had 4 Fox-body Mustangs, and none of them would hang with this little Monster.

The individual I bought it from had set it up to use as a drift car. He bought it from the guy who built it. I can provide you with the builder’s number for more info.

It could easily be tuned for street, drag, or drift. Supposedly the builder used the kit from Monster Miata.

I have more photos, and videos of it running and driving. Just send me a message and I would be happy to send them to you. I am located near Springfield, IL.

My apologies, I thought I had replied to your message, but it appears I didn't. I have some videos I can send via text if that works. And if you have an email address you can PM me as well, I can send you more pics and information.

Again, so sorry to have taken so long to reply. I have been remodeling my house and it is consuming me. :-)

Thanks to all who have inquired over the past few months. I have recently decided to hold on to the Miata for now. Thanks for looking!

Technically it is still for sale. I am in the middle of a move, and the car is blocked in in the back of a storage unit, but should be available the week of Thanksgiving when I move into the new house. I can answer any questions in the meantime and have video links I can send. PM me your email address and I can send them over.
