Hey everyone. Recently came in possession of a 5.0 "monster" miata. It's a mx-5 1992 miata with a 5.0 302 from a foxbody mustang.

Pending trade. Offers still considered!

is it fast?

[TC2SR]

bro, its a freaking v8 inside a 2100 lb miata. i think this is the engine from a foxbody mustang so it has around 220 horsepower all motor with a whooping 300 lbs of torque. I dont know if its fast per se but its quick as shit and accelerates like a bat out of hell. much faster than any sr20 swap you can buy on a 240. That kind of torque means you can get sideways for days. I've driven in a monster miata before, its kinda insane. bump for an quick miata.

Didnt know what i said warranted a "chill fool," like i was being overly aggressive. I didnt name call or question your intelligence, or anything antagonistic like that. Though maybe i should have since u say uve been in the car but still have to ask if its fast? Maybe read my post again w/o being sensitive and see that im not coming at you, im trying to explain something to you through my own experiences ?

[chaldean408]

BUMP!! Its a frkn v8 miata damn it lol

[chaldean408]

In need of a daily...somebody take this beast miata away and give me something that will take me to work and school....

[Your240sucks]

Could be a head gasket problem??? Hmmm
Clean car the overheat scares ya a bit

[chaldean408]

Ya but think about it.
worst it could be is the head which near every shop has done before.
like I said previously tho, it's most likely not. Just needs better cooling for that big engine in that small bay

[anti tyler]

It's not an air cooled engine... The engine bay size should make no difference at all. 'Its mostly likely not' is not a good answer at all.

The worst being the head means you've got to spend the time and money removing heads, replacing gaskets, resurfacing parts, replacing parts! sealing things back up.


That shit costs money. Anyone has a huge right to be super concerned with the problems this car has. & the fact that you're not taking the time to fix them yourself. that's a red flag in my book.

Non the less, it's sweet to see more of these around the country, good luck with your sale/trade
