I have an NA 5.0 I am looking to sell. I am probably more in the 11-12K range, but I can get some specs and pics over the next couple of days. Don't want to sell, but it looks like I will be moving and I need to sell some things.

Here is more of a complete listing. Selling my Mazda 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, with 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, LED headlights

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.

I have more pics 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.

where are you located? Do you think the car will handle a fly and drive?

I am located in Springfield, IL. Depending on where you are, it is probably best to have it shipped. I considered driving it back from New York, but for peace of mind, I had it shipped. I think it is pretty well sorted out, but since it's not a stock 302, I am not sure I'd want to take it on a 10 hour trip. But that's just me. I would be glad to talk through it. 217-781-3289.
