Just looked at the Toyota V12, Nice engine. Should be super smooth and plenty strong. Looking forward to updates.

alrighty so the v12 has gained loads of momentum considering that i only got the motor the 15th december
i should be ready to fire it up in the next 2 weeks !!!! lets hope so

i moved the build thread to miata.net as its not v8 content heres the clicky for it

https://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=629783

By all means do not stop updating here just because of the extra 4 pistons! Regardless of the forum's name we are open to any and all Miata engine swaps here.

as an update here

i have the v12 in and mounted - needs a little bit of bonnet trimming and "maybe" a bit more

here are some pics - it fits way better than expected

i am in the middle of wiring hell actually - battling the wiring and a mental block - i seem to have lost my way and confidence on wiring

so its got the bmw m3 e46 lsdiff / toyota r154 gearbox / lexus 1uzfe flywheel just blots straight on to the v12 crank / ms3 pro ecu and lots of other small changes

I am so excited to get it to start !!!!

Can't wait to see it once its on the road. Sounds awesome.

Ive been following this build on a Miata forum. His car fell off of a lift at a shop and he's dealing with that now. Sucks.
