- LS swaps are so common these days, even in a Miata chases. This guy decided to take a similar route, but powered by FORD! This Miata had a pretty big tire on for such a little car and man did it HOOK! Watching this little thing RIP off the line was the best part! What do you guys think?

I think we all hope to be like him when we are his age. Still a kid at heart enjoying life
I'm 51 and people think I am 15 with the stuff I build and drive. Life is too short to do boring shit and drive appliances.
Some say he's only 25 and he looks 60 after trying to fit a miata around that v8 and a 9inch diff 🙋♂️🇦🇺
We were pitted next to him and his family (my maroon mustang in background) by far some of the nicest and coolest people to meet and talk to. They helped me push my car on the trailer after I broke my driveshaft.
Ahh, to be a part of the racing community. They are great people to be around!
What did you manage to run before the car shit itself??
matt hill I went 11.1 running the 11.0 class. I run 10.90’s when the DA is not 3800 and 90+ degrees.
Now THAT is some drag racing. Classic stick shift with a big engine in a small car! As Ric Flair would say, “WOOOOO!”
Do you know when that guy you gapped says he has a buddy that can run you for some cash $$$ well this is his buddy he’s a beast Believe me
LSX TURBO PERFORMANCE l
Hey mom, the internet said I could swap things in my 95 miata. Could I have your credit card?
Naw it's Richard Rawlings now
Rick flair old as hell
@Joey Marcum bro if u look at Rick flair the wrong way his forehead starts bleeding
His reaction time was damn near perfect. You can tell he's been driving it since 09, respect on that control.
What I really like about this build is the fact that for a long time, Ford and Mazda had a partnership. Ford even owned part of Mazda at 1 point lol
@Ford Man Not anymore
@Just Wryt Not anymore.
cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/daily-news/091208-ford-and-mazda-to-separate
Which is why Mazda had the pickups that were basically Rangers for a while.
@Ford Fan aren't Jag and Land Rover owned by Tata ??
He out launched and shifted that cobra jet. Mans a beast.
Right but I feel like if the cobra hadn't missed the gear he wouldnt have come around him for the win. Just goes to show miatas can be beasts too.
And also the Miata is lighter
That's not a cobra jet. The first modern cobra jet came out in 2008 (S197). That's just a paint job
Yeah it’s definitely not a “real” cobra jet. It’s probably built well. But the Cobra jets run hella fast. That car was gonna go fast, but the driver or something messed up. Of course a real cobra jet with a good driver would crush just about anything.
@@BugattiVeryonSS nah thats a whipple. Its a lightning swap
The fact that he stuck a Cleveland, a man trans and a 9" Ford rear in a Miata is cool enough....but the Ford Maverick shirt.....anybody who knows about factory small block Mavericks know about those shock towers...tells you all you need to know.
It’s a clevor.
I'm dealing with that lol wanting to throw a 351w lol
He said Cleveland headed, which is a clevor.
@@conman7975 the spark plug clearance is super tight. It's like an FE big block powered Mustang. Super tight.
@@freddieshields5697 The Windsor that came in the Maverick was tight enough ( spark plugs/exhaust manifolds ). The builder/driver of this Miata did an awesome job getting all the Ford goodness to fit in a super tight package.
Gotta love Tony, I've been around him since I was a kid. Messed around on lots of bikes but that miata was really the cool one. Good friend, and awesome racer.
Damn...that old dude can shift 😱
He can shift and better than you
@@DJpabliy I've got shift lever for him 😌
He's had many years of practice!
Hey he is not old!!!
@@katt3166 yes he's old dear
This is my nephew in the Miata! So so proud of you Tony Thompson!!!!
3:08 The amount of mohawk on that lad is incredible.
I want to be just like this guy when I get older, seems like a super cool dude. 💪
he probably uses a jet engine as a hairdryer
Facts 😂😂
the person in your profile picture looks like my neighbour
Chairhotdogchair
That’s interesting
Dude looked like Kenny Rodgers lol super beast grabbing gears in that thing tho!
he's personality fits that car perfectly 😂
He should be built it! He is my nephew so proud of him, he has been doing this since he was a kid!
Hey random person scrolling down the comments..
Have a pleasant evening :)
I will!
Stroked FoMoCo in a Miata,,AWESUM!! Nice work Tony and Thanks so much for keeping a FORD SB in the little guy. So many go GM 'cause parts are more plentiful and less cost. Good on ya partner, good on ya!
I thought he said it had iron Cleveland heads 🤔 Big Block?
@@1909torino stroked 302 with Cleveland 4v heads.
Damn he's quick on the tree. 🌲
Thank you for putting a Ford motor in it, runs great
Way to get it Done! The Miata is not Tony's fastest street car, But I think it's by far the coolest in his stable.
Impressive little car with an iron head on it. Seems to be a good engine. Tell him I love him. Lol
First time seeing a Cleveland head run? Think big block valves and ports on a small engine with half the weight of a big block, and ya get the idea. The 4V has HUGE ports, they rival the 426 hemi in size.
@@SweatyFatGuy Absolutely not. Yes I have ported CHI's and all that mess. Built a couple engine master's clevor or winland engines or whatever ya wanna call em. Just saying you don't see alot of stock iron heads nowaday. Runs pretty good na.
I'm really impressed, it's 8.2 based too
The original v8 Miata swap is the Ford 5.0. Check out "Monster Miata" brand.
Ppl forget that the 4.6 from ford was, for a long time, liter for liter the most potent v8 made.
4.6? But it has Cleveland heads.
@@cali2468that was my bad I didn't specify. I was talking about the factory 4.6's that came in the stangs. U could take them and build them and get the same but often more power than bigger motors from competitors.
Except for the obvious such as Boss 302.
The 4.6 is a reliable taxi engine!
Those Clevo heads are HEAVY though, as is the rest of the Clevo.
@@ldnwholesale8552 Taxi engine? Do your research! But but STOCK 4.6 4V heads have went low 6's/high 5's in the 1/4 mile. That's one fast taxi! Lol And a 351C weighs about 50-65lbs more than a 302 but makes way more power obviously.
@@dailytitan8379 and crown victoras. it was basically a 4 door mustang
Guys smile is contagious. Seeing genuine happiness in people will always be the best. Big vibin!
That CobraJet was moving tho!
Shift.... This guy can launch like nothing I've ever seen.
Such perfect timing... Every Launch...
Any Miata with a V8 will always steal the show at any event.
“Yes sir ... yup” you never lose when you are having fun 🙏🏻
*The miata is a low horsepower sports car that relies on its low weight in the corners to make up for lack of straight line speed*
Wow you can read the brochure
@@brennanjordan777 its also the car i once mistaked for a porsche boxter when i was younger
What a hell of a eunos roadster !!!! Mk1 with a big block V8 !! What a thrill !!! Love that car and the driver is obviously a passionate Guy !!! Kudos !!!
Another one in the files boys..no click bait here!!
surprised they let it run with no roll bar
Thats what I’m saying no roll bar in a convertible definitely dangerous
pretty sure behind the seat its got a huge bar
@@BikesNStuff1 That's a style bar
@@GraffixFPS absolute madlad
Last I knew 'open' cars needed a full cage when running 13s, but that was in the 90s when the 6 point rule dropped from 11.99 to 11.49, so its not NHRA based rules. Reminds me of outlaw tracks in South Carolina where I used to race and watch people run complete junk with welded diffs chucking axles across the property.
Power to weight ratio is littttttt 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ford powered hell yeah
That car looks like such a handful, that dude can DRIVE
That was RAD. Miata seems to be the go-to cheap anything car to turn into anything like the Old VW days. The Monster Miata has been around for a long time. Just a year ago when I was leaving California I had the opportunity to meet the owner of Monster Miata out of San Marcos, CA at a gas station filling up a Miata. After talking a while he said this is a Coyote Crate engine swap for a customer. My mouth just dropped.
That thing is absolutely badass
Awesome car! Great guy! Not his only car. 64 falcon with a FE 427 also a 9 sec mercury bobcat. And a bunch of other very! Cool cars. So much respect for this guy!
I never knew they could get that fast I have more respect for the little mini rocket 🚀
Shades of the days when Monster Miatas were a thing. This one is even more monstrous, with canted-valve heads and more cubes. What a fun machine. Need something approaching a Glidden level canted-valve engine to not have to even worry about those modern Cobra Jets, though.
9.75 - 145 and no cage?
S197Paxton3V A Miata isn’t running these numbers from the factory lol. This car specifically kind of dangerous for how fast it is.
S197Paxton3V true lol I’ve gone 153 in my old one haha. But it took me way longer than a quarter mile. Just smart for the track tbh
That Miata is insane
That torque 🔥
9's with a stick, that's manlier than Top Fuel if you ask me.
@DMoney Industry Lucas Oil Raceway Indianapolis. Miata had Indiana tags too.
A v8 miata would be insanely fun... But the cost to swap one is pretty ridiculous if you aren't a fabricator. The swap kits range from $4500 to $7000 depending on if you get the monster miata or the v8 roadsters kit. Then you need an aluminum v8 (iron block adds too much weight and goes against the nature of the car) with a trans and a new rear end. An ls1+t56 combo w/harness is about $4500-5000, then you'll need to cut down the harness or buy a standalone such as the Holley EFI systems. I added it up one day and to swap an ls1 (with a cam and supporting mods), t56, Holley EFI, Ford 9in with LSD, and the swap kit will be anywhere from $15k to $20k and that's before you consider the nickel and diming that comes with swapping an engine. It can be done for cheaper if you can do your own fab work and modify the harness yourself.
Did that thing bunny hop off the line
The man does have great movement and game sense!
I think so..that thing is just plain nasty
Nothing better than a Monster Miata! Love mine.
Lil miata takes off like a bat out of hell
Finally something other then some government motors crap!!
Mousetrap rollbar. Might want to put an actual roll bar in it. But it’s super clean. I’d definitely do something like that to my 94 m
I love that Miata. Lol I showed this video to my father and I know he is gonna be all over me to put a V8 in mine after he sees this 😸
Proof that everyone loves Miata’s
I don't know how many cobras you guys have been around but a Miata really isn't much smaller lol! Freaking love it!
They didn't build cobra jets in the 90's, that was a painted up clone , cmon guys
i think there was a cobra jet in the 90s. let me google it
nope. only cobra's on drag radials
glad people think the same as me! coyote powered miata next
that Miata is ruthless holy moly
Yeah, that guy was great. I also love the fact that he is running a Ford. Chevy's are cheaper and easier to find parts for, but Fords seem to hold up longer and better.
I have a Monster Miata with a 5.0 Mustang in it, set up for the street. Use it as a daily driver. It is sooooo much fun to drive.
Hell yeah!! Also big shout out to M&R Machine, hands down the Ford engine building GOD! Can’t wait for them to put final touches on my built 306 💪🏼🤘🏼
What's crazy to me tho, is no cage, no harnesses. I'm surprised the tracks let him run it that fast without a cage
Cool to see a miata done in this sort of style, v8 and big tires. I like it.
its basically a modern shelby cobra if i think about it. the miata has smoother lines and funny enough. carries some of the AC cobras lines too. I wouldnt be surprised at all If japan already had the cobra first.
It’s sooo humorous to see the Lil Miata pull away 😅😅🤣
I still watch this video and show people ❤
I had a 10.2 second MX5 we dont call them miatas here was as fast as that with a built 4cyl big turbo lol why do that to a awesome car
Ford powaaa
Keep in mind was a all cast factory 4v Cleaveland heads on a stroker Windsor block 408 cubic inches not shocked you look back on Bob Glidden running all cast 4v 351's in Pinto's running low 9's in the early 80's very strong engines for there time and considering they was all factory with after market cam and pistons.
9s without a cage, this guy has big balls
Really good driving from this mans part. awesome build too
That Cobra jet powered sn-95 pull!
Its a 2v 4.6 with a 4.0 whipple, not a CJ swap
man he knows what he’s doing, those shits too!
The little miata that DID.
You're right, a Miata would be the equivalent of the Sunbeam. Probably cheaper too when you adjust for inflation. Would be great to see a lot of different takes on a Miata Cobra, not just a drag racer.
That little car had some balls ...lol
Do convertibles not have to have a roll bar to race in that class? Those style bars do absolutely nothing in a rollover, they just told along with the windshield.
Personally, I prefer my Miatas with a racing beat kit and a 13B-REW, but it’s hard to argue with those slicks and an SBF.
Finally Ruddies baby rocket has some competition he can link with lol 🔥
He can wheel that thing for sure!
Man can cut a light. Cool azz little car
Such a cool build. Makes me wanna get a miata
As Colin Chapman said, "Simplify, and add lightness".
That's what I call a baby Shelby monster
Dare I say, it could be considered a 2/3rdsCobra, lol.
hehehehe
indeed. it has basically the same if not better body lines than the original. plus if you look at it. it really was a cobra.
I like seeing a push rod V8 win every now and then.. That car must be a hand full.. 👍👍👍
As far as I know Ford never made any Cobra Jets in the SN95 body style. I believe that is just an SN95 Mustang with Cobra Jet decals...
They didn't, but all the camera guys are GM lovers..
It's a 1998 GT with stickers
Miata a true sports car
Now that’s a TRUE FORD MAN💯💯
Holy shit.. runs 9's with style bars.
What happened to the cobra jet? Run out of gear? Break? That was abrupt loss of power
Ran out of blinker fluid
He blew his blower belt off.
I agree, it looks like he gave him the win. Anything is possible though...
Bad shift/nervous maybe? Lol
@@motorcycleman1198 correct, my belt broke
Gotta love that he is driving that thing. Wheelman fasure
All that motor and it has a stylebar not a 4 point rollbar, which in miatas, means you die when it rolls. They fold over onto you.
Is this madman running 9s on a fucking style bar for head protection? Badass and a deathwish
The total drag race package....Grin factor 11
One of my favorite cars at sct indy
They had me at Miata wheelie
The little miata that could.😎
what a flex!
chassis flex
Shelbys and Miatas both aren’t Fords but both have something to do with Ford. So it being a baby cobra makes since
That panhard so short it is a cause of rear steer. Any panhard should be as LONG as possible
It is probably longer than the original AC Cobra.
You mean a Fobra Jet lol
