No idea mate.

I would go to adelaide jap and get a GTX engine from them and then find a trusty mechanic to put it in.

Don't know about D&D, but if someone recommended them, then you may wanna ask them about it more.

What did they quote you for the conversion?

sitcky rubber... nice gripy tires.

stock box can handle is but it is fragile, so you will have to be nice to it... especially 3rd gear.

John Keen at Southern HiTech Dyno Tune did very well with my JDM 98 1.6 B6 engine going into a 89 MX-5. The guy knows his stuff & has worked on these Mazda engines.
