The story
Ever since I bought my first car back in high school, a 91 Mazda Miata, I always wanted to do an LS v8 Miata swap but didn’t have the money to do it. Many cars/years later, I finally decided I needed to pursue my high school dream car build and break my dreams by making it into reality. I bought another 91 Mazda Miata and the rest is history. Build time!
