I guess the weigh is the deal killer then? Pretty sure you can get over 700 out of a LS.

Also pretty sure from reading threads about the 944 swap engine weight is a break even on a 944.

Not that I would even want 700HP in a car as small as a 914/Miata/944, wouldn't a 650HP LS be a drop dead reliable engine?
