Somebody said MK1 MX5 is the donor, am I right that this came with a 1.6 or 1.8 engine?
How easy would it be to put the later engine and box in? Or just mate the later engine to the MK1 box? Later MX5s had 2.0l engines.
Forgive me if I am mistaken, not so sure on MX5s

Yep, Mk1's were 1.6l and ~120bhp, and 1.8 and ~130bhp. They also did a detuned 1.6 that only put out about 90bhp.
I'm pretty sure you could drop an early Mk2 engine in without any bother, not sure about later ones though.
The 2l didn't appear till the 3rd gen, and I know bugger all about them!
