LS1? Isn't that a corvette engine? That little car would book with that in it. What kind of cost would I be looking at with the LS1 or the EJ20T. And I can only i magine how much work is in volved in putting all wheel drive in it. But I guess if its gona be a show car its already gona be alot of work.For prices on EJ20T's and 5/6 spd tranny's do a search on www.nasioc.com in the classified section. Cost to install it might not be as bad as you'd think since the miata is RWD to begin with so you'd only have to fab the front which I imagine is easier than building a tunnel to the back and all the work involved w/ back halfing a car, etc... For engine mgmt you might as well get the Hydra from element tuning.

A new LS1 longblock can be acquired fairly economically. I think I saw a GM dealership selling LS6 crate engines for about $5,000. If you wanted a cheaper one, you could get one from a wrecked F-body. Check out ls1.com and ls1tech.com to see if there are any sales. I'd get the Painless wiring kit, too.
