Default Is there any V8 Miata swap DVDs?

After I did my SR20 swap I got a hold of a SR20 DVD. After watching I wish I would have watched it in advance because it would have saved a lot frustration and time. Is there any V8 Miata swap DVD or complete walk through with pics available? I have been searching and I have seen some pics here and there but not a complete step 1, 2, 3, ect. here's what you need all in one place kind of walk though. I have bought a beater dented up 90 miata and I want to do a 302 swap and I think I want the ford 8.8 diff. It will be what ever I can find for the good bargin.

Stacy David on the GEARZ TV show did a Ford V-8 swap on a Miata a couple of years ago. He called it the BANSHEE project. That show is what actually got me interested in doing a V-8 Miata swap. The show ran a few episodes. They are not very detailed but you’ll find a lot of information. You can see the videos at the link below.

Go to www.monstermiata.com under the tab "STORE" click on "V8 MONSTER KIT" the first item on the top of the page will be a manual for $70. It is to install Martin's V8 kit, but I know that a lot of guys have used it as a guide and say that it has good pictures and is a good guide to wiring. Also try http://forum.miata.net/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=38 as a reference.

I agree with mx5.7, the Monster Miata manual is a great source of reference even if you don’t buy the kit. The Miata.net forum is also a great place to ask questions and research solutions to problems you may encounter.

There's quite a few pretty complete build gallery's for hte Ford build dating back more than 10 years. One that got my interest peaked was by a guy named "Chris". I did a search or two and can't find it at this point. There's also pretty good build by a guy named "Bill Eagle" somewhere from back int he day. I have a pretty complete build up of my last car and the car before it on my cardomain site. You can get there frot he builds page of my website:
