Default JV6 miata swap car checking in

My buddies and I are building a '94 Miata with a J32A2 Honda V6 out of an '03 Acura CL type-s. We are using the Minitec swap kit with an AEM EMS. I've learned a lot doing this swap, but it's almost done. Here's a video of it running without mufflers:

Almost 3k is a hefty price for a kit. Did you ever consider putting a k24 engine in there?

The k24 kit is 3750, then you need kpro, an engine, expensive header etc, comes out to 7-9k said and done.
