Ah, I get it. "Monster" Miata! I wonder if it has titanium Muffler Bearings!

I will try to post pictures, but I am not sure we took any of the motor. We are just too busy around here trying to get the first Coupe finished up (which is looking fabulous)

I can tell you this--the motor is a 351 with dual over head cams. DenBeste Motorsports custom made the heads for the Windsor block. The motor is incredible--it was something like 600-700 hp. DenBeste does things right and doesn't cut corners. When you step on the gas it feels like you are going into warp drive.

I saw that engine in a CSX but it didnt need the supersnake hood. They just had to modify the engine bay...
