because the reason its the best handling chassis is because when they put the motor in its all part of the equation of weight distribution and handling. so when you take out the motor and put in a different motor it ****s with the whole balence of the car granted i believe that most sr swapped miatas actually help the weight distribution i highly doubt pulling a V8 and dropping a straight 6 is going to help the chassis balence

So your telling me your comfortable pulling out a Bmw motor and dropping in a 2JZ engineering and fabricating the engine and transmission mounts and then on top of all this figuring out a way to make the motor run without losing all the bmw options?
