Any thoughts on using an NC drive train
 
I completed my LFX/6L50 swap into my 2011 Touring May of last year and find myself with a 52K mile drive train that no one wants.

It seems the NC engine and drive train are quite reliable besides being a small percentage of the total Miata population.

So I find myself with an orphan long block, transmission, drive shaft, diff, axles, sub-frames, cooling system, steering rack and many other parts.

With no buyers, I began thinking about using them as a basis for a kit car, may something like

where the horsepower would simulate the original car. Unfortunately, I haven't found any kit car that uses an NC donor.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
