    I think that the rx8 and nc miata share a platform. Wonder if the front subframe will swap.

    Test fitting my engine today. I was fabricating my subframe. Now just need to modify my oil pan which I'll try to do this week. 20160523_183513.jpg

    I'm kinda happy/disappointed about hood clearance. The Cobra intake is a bit taller than the rest of the manifolds. I'm going to most likely run a cowl hood or so. I will see if I could lower the subframe a quarter inch and cut the middle hood bracing.

    Yeah, but that can really mess with seeing apexes, etc.

    I don't want it that tall. Just tall enough to clear my manifold.

    scratches on valve cover paint job. 2/10 would not drive
    [​IMG]
    [doublepost=1466798921][/doublepost]are you familiar with the shaker hoods on the old boss mustangs? now, it's not quite the same b/c you're dealing with the intake manifold vs a ram air intake, but the ford power plant and hood clearance remains the same.

    I'm kind of a fan of the ridge in the middle that doesn't look like a scoop. I'm not saying do it this big, just an example
