V8 Miata builds it's tubular subframes just outside Tampa. $750.00 if you pick up, no shipping. Where is Deerfield? I'm at Port Charlotte, doing a Ford in an '02.

Nope, you'd have to fabricate the mounts yourself or have a fabrication shop do it. The only K-member that comes with Ford mounts is Monster Miata's which will require you to send them a core first (its a modified stock one).

was trying to avoid the pit falls of fabrication,but using tubular, might be better
since i can use of the shelf headers,

would have made my life much easier, if the would of come with mounts,

i have the 302 and a t5 already,put the word out for the diff already, since those cars get crushed right away,

i like the chevy motor better, but manual chevy trans are to expensive,

What's your schedule? I have an open 8.8 diff, I am working on a tubular subframe. I'm in Sarasota.
