This could be an interesting project for my Miata that needs an engine

Gently used race car engines.

Isn't that a contradiction?

Maybe these were the engines from the drivers who really weren't trying very hard?

Should I ask him? Will it fit into my B210?

Swish.

Which would have been every Infiniti equipped team, as the engines tended to blow up when pushed hard.  Every team ended up running the Aurora engine after just a few years.

One of these would be great in the 1200 but the only real advantage over a SBC or SBF is the 100lb weight savings. The beefier trans would like make the actual weight savings 50-75lbs.

It's fun to dream though.
