Slant six in a Miata ? Why ???

I don’t see a slant being a good option for an autox car anyway, unless he’d have done an efi conversion on it. Get enough starvation issues with a carb’d v8.

I think it COULD be in something it was actually DESIGNED to be in, like an early Valiant, for instance. But a long, heavy slant 6 in a Miata? I don't know man. I think it was a bad idea on that one. Didn't he use like some plywood and all in that car in places? It just seemed destined for how it ended up right from the start.
