I have  seen one a few times at the LA Shelby events over the years, seems to 
run OK,  still a Miata and when all said and done I don't remember it doing 
anything  that made me thing it handled really well or was exceptionally fast. 
Better  off doing an Lieger (some call them Algers) at least IMO it looks 
cooler the  the Miata. In all reality you don't need a V8 in a Miata, I have seen 
them run  fast with the 4 bangers and turbo kits are cheep and plenty for  
them.

The Miata suspension is, well, 30-40 years "better" than the Sunbeam's and  
you can get a suitable donor unibody cheaper than an Alpine...with less  
opportunity for rust issues...so, I can't see any logic in doing an  Alger...
 
I won the San Diego Solo II SCCA National Tour XP class this year in a  
supercharged Miata...310rwhp, coil over suspension, big Hoosier A6 tires and  
1900lbs...so, I'd agree, there are easier options to making a Miata go fast than  
installing a V8...but, they won't sound as cool. :-)
