- A customers brought in his hi-mileage '91 Miata 1.6 with a blown head gasket for repair. It was decided to do a 1.8 swap instead of rebuilding the 1.6. Brandon and Fred go through all the steps they take to remove and replace the motor by dropping the motor and subframe all together.

Great ending, brilliant middle and a very good beginning. 🙂
Thanks for going to all that trouble to entertain me! 😊
😂
hey fred, could you move the camera a little closer? it's hard to see your pores from that distance. thanks!
I can imagine what that looks like on a 75" screen!!!
Someone really loves their 91 Miata!
Apart from that paint job...
I was legitimately watching this video thinking how nice it would be to use a lift to do this and then you mentioned that you were in my home town! I will definitely have to keep that in mind here!
I hope there`s a part 2. Good stuff guys.
cant wait for part 2.. and Brandon doing doughnuts in the car park testing it out
Thanks!
I was going to say, might as well pull the sub frame down... and then... 🙂
Good stuff guys!
Thanks!
overall, how much did this run the college student? i’m a college student with a 91 stuck in this same boat! i need some help!
This project being a 1.6 to 1.8 swap, including the new motor and all parts needed to install it, including labor was around 7k. Just replacing the 1.6 with a fresh 1.6 would be around 5K so depending upon what you wanted to do anywhere from 5k-8k. I believe this one was financed by the bank of mom.😊
great stuff and sweet tunes as well!
Appreciate your comment. It's always hard to find music that helps the videos flow.
WE NEED A PART 2
That ending was priceless!! 😂😂
you guys rock, even if you did fuck us at the end here 😂👍🏻🍸
Would you buy a 97 Miata with 100k miles for $8000 or a 94 M edition with 80k miles for $11000?
Could you like all the parts in the description
Hahaha. That ending was priceless
How long did the whole remove and replace take? (including all the gaskets and such)
approximately 10hrs
Can you fix My honda accord suspension?
What avout ecu
What?? No dry ice blasting or powder coating?!? #SpotTheSarahNTunedViewer 🤣 Great job guys. If you ever decide to franchise this idea let us know. I live in an area (Winchester, VA) where there's still a population of people who work on their cars, and I'm one of them. 👍
Im here because I saw a '90 miata with a shortnose crankshaft issue and im tryna see how much work and parts is needed to do a 1.8 swap 😂
This was post covid so prices prolly are already inflated, could you name a ball park dollar figure on how much parts it cost please?
What an ending! Subbed!
The 1.8 is getting hard to find but total for this swap if Memory serves me well, $7-8k
What's the best things to put in the 1.8l manual engine and is the rear ring the that the flywheel goes onto the same as from the 1.6l of the 1.8l manual 🤔
Got my shirt ordered!
Thanks 👍
Is new clutch mandetory with this kind of swaps? What about ecu?
Clutch is (should be) the same. ECU will work but should get one for the 1.8
