Swap motor on MS&S????? I'm looking at $700 for the motor and accessories with no electronics. Your thoughts?

You'll need a transmission too- then figure out how to either hook it up to the ppf or support it. I question the vertical height on these motors given the high hood line of the new mx5 vs. the NA. There will most likely be sump issues- so you'd need to build something that will maximize the capacity while fitting in the cutout in the K frame. That will require some pickup work too- no biggy though. As mentioned the exhaust/intake swap sides, so you might consider moving the ppf (if you use it to the other side) to make room for the exhaust. Probably another reason to bring the entire driveline over.
I think the biggest issue you'll have with it, is that it's not going to be as boost friendly as the engine in your Miata now. And you'll be able to make more power with the turbo on the 1.6 than the 06 2.0L.
The 2.3 turbo has been beefed up for turbo duty.
Hopefully you're encouraged now that you've got a list to start with.
