Have you seen the ones with ford and chevvy V8s fitted. that would go well.
The V8's aren't all 'that' in terms of outright speed, what you want is a turbocharged one or a supercharged one. Many kits exist, like the Jackson Racing SC kit and there are adapter brackets so you can use the supercharger from a BINI Coooper S.
Turbo's are sweeter though, one chap had his running at 300bhp+ on standard internals. Everyone said it would blow up before long. It hasn't.
Runs 12s quarters and is an absolute animal, think the bloke has spent around £4k in total!
Also worth note that the MX5 race team around the corner went to a track day and killed a V8 MX5 in their 1.6 NA!
