Any MX5 V8 Conversion Kits/Converters in the UK?

[RedCabbage]

I miss my TVR but also like Q Cars.

Mrs RC misses her MX5 and can't drive TVR's, so I'm looking into a V8 MX5.

Anyone got any experience?

Can't find the member. has a name like Miatals1conversion, or something like that.... I'm sure he'll be along.

Yes I've found those two already but thanks for the PH member ref I'll try and track him down.

Now, now...

...actually you're both right

Contact with individuals and converters in the UK and US will be useful, although I will most likely be doing the conversion myself.

Apparently 5.0 H0 Mustang is the way to go.

LS1 option means moving the steering rack and messing with the geometry.

Right just off to see a man about a Ford...

Thanks

He has it advertised with RPI for £7500.

Fantastic job but I can't stand Red cars.

it's a great looking car.. but it completely bemuses me that you'd go to all that trouble to do the V8 swap... and then fuel it using a pair of SU carbs !?!?!??! WHY!

Remind me at the next Windmill meet and I'll tell you. I wouldn't want to incriminate anyone here.

Monster were US based but don't exist anymore.

Dont worry I've got two other suppliers sorted.
