Has anyone heard of this Miata?
It is a modified Miata built by a company called M2.  It has the
3 litre V6 from the current 929, re-tuned to produce 180kw (250bhp).  The car
also uses the current RX7 gearbox, a lsd from a mazda minivan and aluminium
double wishbone suspension on the front from the RX7.  It is suppose to do
0-100kmh(60mph) in under 6 secs.

Has anyone thought of shoe-horning the 929 V6 into a Miata?

What would this require?

I know this would require a lot of money, :-)

but would it require modification of the suspension and the guards.

I've also heard of a monster miata, with a Ford 302.  Surely if someone
can stuff a V8 in the miata, the 3 litre V6 would be easy.
