Default Tubular K member for ford V8 swap

Anyone know if a tubular K member is available for a Ford 302 into a 2001 Miata?


thanks

Any tubular subframe can be used. It's all about the motor mounts. V8Roadsters sells their subframe without mounts, you can then do your own. Jack (funo2se on this board) used my prototype frame in his build. Unfortunately he has had some health problems and the project is stalled, but it looks really good as far as it got.

I've attached a couple of pics of the subframe. You should also take a look at Jack's pics.

I'm kinda surprised no one has marketed a tubular subframe already w/ the Ford 302 engine mounts already positioned. Is Martin's modified OEM subframe the only one available that already has the 302 mounts?
