Andrew - My son [Air Force mechanic] is a bit of a Miata nut - currently rebuilding an engine and making a transmission conversion at the same time. If you don't get the info you need from this list let me know and I will direct your questions to him BillR Jacksonville FL 1981 300SD 273k

My son says you can purchase well-documented kits to do these mods. with ordinary tools and ordinary mechanical aptitude, and wants me to do it with him. This will presumably foster father-son bonding. My question is... has the child gone mad? Isn't this something one should trust solely to professionals who do this for a living? The work is supposed to take a day, and he would save $2k in labor charges. The work would be done in SWMBA/O's car port, so I am naturally fearful of disabling the Miata and keeping her nice 85 300CD out in the rain... to my detriment. Any words of advice would be appreciated. On 3/24/06, Craig McCluskey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > triplin.net
