There was a company called Monster Motorsports. I don't know if they are still around but they do(did?) Ford 5.0 motor installs into the Miata. Sort of a modern day Cobra. They even had a supercharged "King" version. IIRC it seemed to be pretty straightforward. I don't think they had to do any body mods, just some chassis stuff. They may have a swap kit available if they are still operating. I always thought it would be a blast to drive but I wouldn't get rid of my Regal for one.

Monster Motorsports is retty much a thing of the past. The did stuff 5.0s into Miatas, and it was a fairly straightforward swap.
Me? I'd be thinking LC2 or even a hotair engine- less weight, more potential.

o im not considering getting rid of my TR for one...i dont plan on spending $6000 to build this thing either haha...some good ol' hillbilly ingenuity would work with this i think! more so i was wondering what ya'll would do as far as putting the money into building something like that or put my money into the regal and buy alky and such...
Look here
V-8 Archie -- Pontiac Fiero V-8 Kits and Kit Cars This is a cool, cheap, and fairly strightforward swap. I found one online, although I can't remember where. This guy put a ZZ430 crate motor in a 5 speed Fiero and was killing ZO6 Vettes with it....
