I recently blew the 1.6 in my Miata and I have a 2.3 out of a Ford Focus just laying around and I was wondering if it’s do able to swap the motor and make an adapter plate for the 2.3 to bolt up to my trans. I know it’s probabky retarded question but I’m trying to do the best with what I got. Thanks

I have no idea why someone decided to make that - lots of revs and no torque in quite a heavy car!

as to the OP, anything fits if you want it to, takes time / effort & money
