Saw a much better way of uprating the MX5 in the 'states. A company called Monster Roadsters will happly fit the 302CI 32 valve V8 from the current Mustang into the MX5 body, and if you wish they will include a supercharger. This gives the minature mazda a full 450 BHP and about 495 lbs/foot of torque. The magazine report said "it is the fasted accelating car they have ever tested, and we have tested some fast cars. Corvette ZR1, this beats it." Interesting........

There is someone who has fitted a rover V8 into his MX-5. Apparently it is a bit quick!
