Hey Dave, I didn't recognize you! We do have the same year cars, you
don't have a '99 Suburban now too do you? :)
You back from the digest eh? I finally dropped the miata list. Not
much talk there but which shift knob is best.
After Bill's comments I went and search for information on the
conversion. I found one question posted to the Miata list about it and
that was it. They ridiculed him for it of course, not wanting to spend
a good miata engine on the MG. :)
Bill sent me a picture of an A that was converted. Looked like it fit
in the hole OK, and it was pretty. But there was no information about
it or any other conversion out there that I could find.
