Car is a Factory 5 Mrmiata. No I did not build it. Didn't have the patience, time or the knowledge. Build book is now over 500 pages. Average build takes a year to a year and a half. If I was younger I'd have attempted it but at 60 I just wanted something I could enjoy and still tinker with. Its a 347 Ford Racing Stroker motor that puts out around 400-415 HP. The carb'd version is closer to 450. Mine starts in 10 degree weather and will run a day. Just like the Crossfire you are never done with these cars. We also have two really good forums over at Factory 5. If you are ever interested in a kit they are the best. You can buy parts to just about any of their kits and get them in a few days and their tech support is incredible.
Here's a few more pics for you. The new dash with Smiths Electric gauges and an engine shot. Have a safe and happy holiday season my friends!
