For those who dont know i have plans for doing an untypical V6 swap, and the 6 i chose is the one that powers the base model 2010 Camaro and Cadillac CTS. Its the 3.6L LLT. Not sure what the engine will make but in the camaro it makes 255 wheel hp and 231ftlbs of torque which is a great start for me in a miata, but even more awesome to me is that with that hp i'll be gettin better gas mileage than the factory 1.8 in the mx5 and i only have to run it on 87 octane. of course when i get to the point where i want more donkey power there are some nice bolt ons as well as a Centrifugal SC built for it by Lingenfelter.

Also a nice 33 hp header upgrade from BBK Performance

I already know i'll be adding the Corsa Performance mufflers for it. sounds like a sweet VQ to me.
HERE YOU TRY SAMPLE!

I think it is a cool idea - doing an LS swap is the "easy answer", but this would be something a little different that would definitely set your car apart. I think the hard part will be fabbing up a subframe and/or engine mounts.

hey you could start a whole new v6 miata fan club. Work out the kinks and let us know how it goes.

I have always wanted to put the exoboost v6 that's in the new Taurus into my car!

It would be alot of downtime but definitely worth it
