I've heard of people putting a 13B in a Miata, which sounds cool. But what about an MX-6? To me, it looks like a mini 3rd gen, and it would be nice if it moved pretty quick. Nothing important, just wondering.

The Miata is RWD though. It would be a pretty good stretch to get the 13b to fit in the MX-6s engine bay in a front drive configuration. Then if it did fit, you would most likely need an adapter to mate to the transaxle. And before all that, the transaxle probably couldnt handle much more than a stock S5 TII can dish out, so if you want more power than that it would need to be beefed up.



It is a cool idea though. I like the MX-6 chassis.

Someone really needs to figure out how to swap a rotary in a front driver. So many options you would have then.

Australia seems to be a bit of a monster factory. You have any more info on these 323s?
