Will a 4.6 fit?

V8 Miata Zealot
I am gathering parts for my 4.6 32V twin turbo build. I am pretty good with a torch & saw. It may take a few years to get all of the stuff that I need, but I am not in a hurry.

tbone, the Cobra rear will fit with the Boss Frog kit. Clearance for the exhaust is tight but the actual rear fits fine.
If you flip the factory manifolds over to face forward you may have an easier time running the exhaust but the 4.6 is a wide and tall engine. Be carefull you dont cut so much of the car that you lose structure. I might be doing a turbo set up about a year after my car is running and sorted out. I was going to do rear mount turbos by placing them where the fuel tank was and putting a cell in the trunk. Sounds easy, right?
