The 1.6 inlet manifold is bigger making it harder to fit it under the bonnet, but people on here have managed it.

+1 on Johno's point about Keith Tanners book How to Build a Cheap Sports Car, it's just about how he managed to overcome all the problems in his build. And his contact details are in the back, there's not much he doesn't know about taking apart an MX-5 and he will answer you if you send him an email.

His build log was my inspiration to start my own build! Sadly, the book is out of print and unavailable on the online booksellers for a reasonable price.
