Slant six in a Miata ? Why ???

Once a car is at the scrapper here, they won't sell chit.
That Miata should have ended up at the scrapper LOL! Uncle Tony ok, but he's playing around with junk. He has decent cars, a roadrunner, a 340 early 70s roadrunner, that nice 71 swinger that he painted. It leads me to believe the bulk of his audience are junk people.
