So, idle speculation...would a GM 350 fit? Because I think I might know where you can get your hands on one of those.

They have LS1 conversion kits. That is much much much more appealing to me than a 5.slow transplant.

Not that either would be slow in a Miata.

I dunno if clyde's L98 would fit

Know where I can get my hands on one that "runs" rather than merely "nearly runs"?

It was my commuter car from June 2009 through the end of 2012 when it mostly stopped running. Racked up about 10k miles.
