For sale is my 2004 MazdaSpeed MX-5 that I LS swapped and rebuilt.
It is Located in North Tulsa, Oklahoma and I have the clean Oklahoma title in my name.
I spent from 2019 to 2021 swapping in a 5.7 liter LS1 mated to a 5 speed manual transmission, and a Ford 8.8 differential.
The car has been completely stripped, sound deadened, and rebuilt to refresh any component that may have been worn due to its age. All new rubber control arm bushings were installed, the brakes were rebuilt, the coolant and air condition systems are new, and all wheel bearings were replaced.
The engine is tuned by myself and makes roughly 350 horsepower to the wheels.
Engine Specs:
-2001 year LS1 from Cleveland Power and Performance.
-Cam is a 224R 224/224 .600"/.600" 112LSA from Texas Speed.
-It has TSP dual valve springs, titanium retainers, and hardened pushrods.
-Intake manifold, PCV, Fuel rails, fuel injectors, and rocker covers are from a 2001 LS6 Engine.
-Running a Holley Terminator X ECU.
-Sealed Rocker bearings on OEM rockers.
-Deatschwerks 225lph fuel pump.
-New OEM gaskets, water pump, fuel filter and MLS headgaskets.
-Sanderson Shorty headers (Ceramic Coated).
-Manual Exhaust cutouts to bypass Magnaflow muffler if desired.
Drivetrain and Body Specs:
-Low mile 5 Speed Aisin AR5 manual transmission mounted to engine with FabBot adapter and LS7 Clutch/Flywheel.
-Ford 8.8 Independent Suspension Differential with clutch-type LSD and Driveshaft Shop axles.
-The interior has been sound deadened and a Kenwood-amplified sound system was installed.
-Current Subwoofer is a small 8" box in the passenger foot well. It can be removed easily.
Notes:
-Car has no OBD2 port
-Heater hoses are blocked off at the engine, so the car does not have heat. Hoses will be included.
-A/C does work, but the belt slips off and will need to be diagnosed if A/C is desired.
-Since the main photos were taken I dinged the passenger door. Photo of damage is shown.
-Paint condition overall is not perfect and shows wear in some areas.
-The Steering Rack has been professionally de-powered and welded up so there is no power steering.
