@@DadsAlwaysHurt Intro was a little too much. Wanted to hear the V8 miata not music.....Should leave the theatrics towards the end and start with a cold start and mild peel off then his talking points.
Duuuuuuude the quality of this video is INCREDIBLE! Cant wait to see more. P.s. you should look up the Minty Fresh Miata NRG steering wheel I designed. Would go great in that car.
Haha thank you!! It’s so tough to grow through UA-cam. If you have any car friends that you think would like it, sharing it a couple times goes a long way!!
Absolutely love your V8 Miata. I also have a V8 Miata but with an LS2 with a Texas Speed cam.. no driver aids etc.. should drive it and see the difference.
I was half expecting to see under the hood. You say it's a 327 small block? I've seen some LS swapped Miatas...Monster Miata in Palisades CO makes the kits.... but I guess it really doesn't matter whether you stick a old-school small block or an LS into it. Looks nice and sounds great. Speaking of sounds, ditch the Morning Light stuff. We want to hear the car..!!
We’ve got a full video of the car walk through on the Channel! And there isn’t a kit for the SBC, it’s a bit harder to do than a LS. And the car has exhaust cutouts for when we want it loud!
I was kinda thinking it would be easier on gas because of the lighter weight Oh, a 327 ci. That's a nice size, plenty of power. I was dreaming of a 427 in my 91 but decided, upon lottery win, to go with a 292 ci set up like the 65 Cobra.
I have a Miata with a 302 ford/T-5 combo, and I agree completely. You have to work at it to slide it or blow the tires off. But it is a blast to drive. What did you use for a differential?
@@slightlyMADcustoms I hear ya bud! Nice job on the video. I would like to hear some more pure exhaust/intake noises in the next one though. And you said you are making 400HP with that swap? That must be an absolute blast!
help me out if im missing something but i found a na miata $1500, Ls1, Ls3 or Lt3 $2000, rear end $400, drive shaft, $500-700, ECU $500, sub frame $500. lets ignore suspension and stuff like that for now, i feel like for around $4500-6000 its not unreasonable to put but engine in little car.
It's all the little stuff that adds up. You cant just use any radiator, any transmission, any exhaust manifolds, any oil pan, and you certainly cant get an LS rated rear end in a miata for $400. Did you watch our LS miata cost video? It goes over every item you need for the swap and the cost! If you still have more questions after that video let me know! Happy to help you where I can
@@slightlyMADcustoms I appreciate it man. I'll head over and watch.i like projects where you see just how cheap you can be but still go fast. Im not so much worried about the transmission as I actually have a 4l60e laying around, and most likely the doner car/truck would have one as well. Exhaust manifold is as simple as some pie cuts here and there. Now the rear end you're probably right I can get a ford 8.8 for around $400 but I didn't even think about mounting and axles so I'll just call it $1500-2000. I only asked because I keep seeing people say $20000 but from what I can tell that's to make it reliable, look good and handle better. I'm going to look at a couple of clapped miatas this week but I'll definitely hit you up when I start the swap if I get stuck.
No problem! Yeah the common thing is that even if you do it “cheap” for around 10-15k including the Miata purchase price, you now have a car that you really like that’s almost perfect and the spending doesn’t stop hahaha. Usually once you have that much money into a Miata now you’re dying to spend another 5k on new wheels, tires, suspension, etc.
It’s baffling to me that so many people will use the phrase “it still feels like a Miata” after crazy extensive mods to their Miata (like one awd rally Miata on UA-cam) , but at least you gave more explanation to why you use that term. Also, what’s your suspension and tire setup? I’m on stock wheels on my ‘91 Miata with a moderate turbo (FMs voodoo II) and it’s very easy to lose traction if I wind out the throttle. And I can’t be making more than 200hp.
Running 225/50/15 proxie 4s’s which are very big sticky tires for a Miata, also I went down to a 3:08 rear end ratio which really prevents losing traction too! And running BC racing coils and E36 front sway bar.
This is probably a stupid question, but I’ve always really wanted to make something like this, a build between a sleeper and something flashier, but never knew where to start and never knew if I’d have the adequate money. How cheaply and how easily could I do something like this? Would it be plausible to learn as I go, or is a project like this something you need a lot of experience for?
Never a stupid question! It’s definitely something you can learn as you go, just make sure to learn how and where to ask for help! Facebook car groups and other car guys are usually a wealth of knowledge to help for any project you want to do. And I’d say you can build something really fun between 15000-25000 just based on what you want. We have a whole price breakdown and swap guide that covers all the basics on our channel if you want to take a look at that, and if you want more info just send me a DM on Instagram @lowla_smc !
Ya very custom mounts. I used the stock subframe and heavily modified it. If I were to do it again I would buy the tubular front subframe and build from there
Yooooo bro thank you SO much for making this video because i was JUST thinking of picking up a good old miata and buying the massive V8 out of my dads older Ford Expedition and getting an engine swap done on top of replacing the stock transmission with a replacement Nissan 370z transmission to properly handle all of the power that i plan to make with this little BEAST!!! LMFAO 😂❤😂
@@slightlyMADcustoms andddd as soon as i make this build come true i will DEFINITELY be making plenty of vids about it and ill be making sure to give you TONS of credit for giving me the idea, much love bro!
Well I mean that definitely depends on a lot of factors, but I’d say it’s roughly 2-3 times more expensive than a cheap daily driver. And the low end torque makes it faster than most other tuner cars off the line for sure, but probably pretty equal for a rolling race
Super nice car , however there is a difference between driving the wheels of from it and cruising and you my friend did the ladder. No donuts? No burnouts?
Better at 8.2 deck height. A SBC is ~70lbs ~1in higher, and you can tell by a good amount. The SBC is not *heavier* by 70lbs, the ~1in weight raised, it at least 70lbs. I'd count it 100lbs, 1 in higher than a mustang motor. :(
The quality of your content deserves much more attention. Only thing I could ask for would be more, unless you want to start doing TG style smoke and lighting followed by drifting and english humor

@@slightlyMADcustoms could you show us some pictures of the engine …love to see that 327 in there…owned a Camaro 327 4 speed in high school…love your car 💥
This car has an old school Small block Chevy but it’s not a straight forward swap. The easiest two options are to go LS swap or the older fox body mustang 5.0 swaps
Ya I’m sure it’s possible, just might need to notch out the body a bit to fit the compressor, then find a pretty small condenser. Maybe look at vintage air
We used a modified stock subframe, but it was A LOT of cutting and welding haha. Why use the Miata alternator? The ford one should charge the battery just the same. Should save you some time modifying brackets
For a V8 swapped Miata you have to replace the whole drivetrain. None of the stock stuff can handle all that torque. You need a stronger transmission such as the TKO or T56, a upgraded driveshaft, a Ford 8.8 differential, as well as upgraded heavy duty axles.
Ours is a bit of a different flavour with the SBC in there. With the right supporting mode and gearing you could definitely make it crazy. All depends on what you want. Turbo LS would be terrifying 😂
Did you dislike them because of the weight gain? I was worried about that when I found mine for sale. Long story short. I bought a 94 ls2 Miata with the intentions of selling my stock 94 NA8. I love the ls2 Miata so much & you don’t feel the minimum weight gain much at all since it stayed extremely balanced. I couldn’t sell the stock NA8 though, driving a slow car fast is perfect for the street. I’ve found that stock & in v8 form the chassy is a freakin blast! I must own both for the rest of my life!
My guy. You got a couple minutes of cinematic montage. All sorts of angles, distances, and styles. As we were talking we were just casually driving with traffic. You’d probably just be watching the back end of a Honda Civic
@@slightlyMADcustoms I drive a 530HP Cobra, girl....so I doubt that you have a Civic that's faster. We want to see the acceleration of the car going down the road to experience its performance; you don't get that from a drone footage nor your goofy face ho'ing for the camera.
No no I mean we were driving in traffic so if we faced the camera forward you would be watching the rear end of a random car out the windshield. I’m sorry we disappointed you. We’ll do better next time
@@slightlyMADcustoms You had plenty of drone footage of the car being by itself which meant that a camera could've been mounted to take the view through the windshield. But look, I admit that I did come at you like an a-hole, ok I admit that....but I do mean well, hahah. And props to you for this Miata being your own project car ...which I just found out by actually watching the beginning.
Ya not feeling the love lol. You’re right we could have filmed out the windshield there. There was one shot where the camera was mounted on the trunk facing forward which was sorta what you were after. Next summer we’ll get more front facing footage for you. The thinking was while he’s talking and explaining, we film him talking. That’s what feels most natural for people to watch.
Reminds me so much of the Shelby Cobra

This is the poor mans shelby cobra
Yea, just gayer.

My guy. You got a couple minutes of cinematic montage. All sorts of angles, distances, and styles. As we were talking we were just casually driving with traffic. You’d probably just be watching the back end of a Honda Civic
@@slightlyMADcustoms I drive a 530HP Cobra, girl....so I doubt that you have a Civic that's faster. We want to see the acceleration of the car going down the road to experience its performance; you don't get that from a drone footage nor your goofy face ho'ing for the camera.
No no I mean we were driving in traffic so if we faced the camera forward you would be watching the rear end of a random car out the windshield. I’m sorry we disappointed you. We’ll do better next time
@@slightlyMADcustoms You had plenty of drone footage of the car being by itself which meant that a camera could've been mounted to take the view through the windshield. But look, I admit that I did come at you like an a-hole, ok I admit that....but I do mean well, hahah. And props to you for this Miata being your own project car ...which I just found out by actually watching the beginning.
Ya not feeling the love lol. You’re right we could have filmed out the windshield there. There was one shot where the camera was mounted on the trunk facing forward which was sorta what you were after. Next summer we’ll get more front facing footage for you. The thinking was while he’s talking and explaining, we film him talking. That’s what feels most natural for people to watch.
