    It's G5MX-R. And I think the only years they came in the 323 is '88-89 in the GTX's.

      I think there is an "x" in there somewhere for the 4wd transmissions.

          I wonder if the miata has the same rear ratio as the 88 or 89 gtx? I've been searching and havent found anything about the gtx's differencial ratios.

            sweet thanks I'm going to fab up a AWD set up on my TruckStiva just throwing the idea around since I already have the AWD transmission that came with my BPT engine. gonna have to find a rear end with the same gear ratio as the trans and one that measures out the same.

              I think the Miatas have the same ratio as the 323's.

                the ones in the 88-89 gtx (b6t powerd ones) arnt that strong.... the ones from 90 to 94? are the strongest (bpt powerd ones) so i guess your lucky that you got the good one but to make it fit your gonna have to move the steering rack... i think a miata diff will work but im not 100% sure... check out clubprotege.com and read around... lots of good info on there

                  only certain miata diffs will work. I believe you need one from an M-edition with the 6 speed. or a second gen RX-7 Automatic should be a 3.909. I've barked up that tree for quite some time.

                    You've got a project in front of you. I dont think its ever been done, and if it has nobody has ever presented it to the known world.

                      yeah its definatly a project ive got my truckstiva all apart now basicly a shell so now is definatly the best time to do it, ive been thinkin if ima do it i just as well do it up rite the first time, ive got over 3000.00 in parts in storage just collecting everything before i begin. I have had the last 3 months to think about everything real hard seeing that ive been at basic training in fort sill, ok. lots of tactical road marches to dream up a good build.-daniel

                            If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                              Are you thinking about the miata rear end or the rx7? or did you find something totaly different?
