Yes I do!
I have a couple of Miata's too.
It's amazing how many people have my banks. I'm very grateful for every one that has purchased one over the past 24 years.
I believe the frame would handle a Big Block. But, I"m doing this on the cheap. I have a 305 SBC with vortec heads, flat top pistons, a lumpy cam, and an air gap intake. I think that its putting out around 290HP. In a previous version of the frame I had the car together on springs. It weighs, on my race scales, 1498lbs. Even with modest power it should be fun to drive.
I'm leaving for a couple weeks of vacation on Friday. When I get back I'm going to be finishing the Lakester as fast as possible. I'm suppose to get the Cheetah body around Dec 1. Can't wait.
