Boss
Frog Kit information...
If
you are ready for some awesome power out of your NA or NB
Miata, then look no further. Boss Frog has developed some
new V8 swap kits that will turn your car from mild to wild!
Boss Frog has been building top quality rollbars and accessories
for Miatas for over 5 years, and is far from being a garage
startup or a one-man operation. You can be assured that these
kits will have the outstanding quality and customer support
of the other Boss Frog products.
Boss
Frog uses the following key drivetrain components;
- Engine
- the Miata Venom V8 kits use the LS series GM engines
typically used in Corvettes, Camaros, Firebirds and GTOs,
because they are lighter and more powerful than the Ford
5.0 liter V8s. Read
More
- Transmission
- the transmission selected is a Borg Warner T56 syncromesh
6-speed manual transmission that was used in Vipers, Corvettes,
Cobras, and F-body cars. These transmissions use a hydraulic
clutch and have an excellent performance record. Read
More
- Differential
- Boss Frog looked seriously at the Getrag differential
used in Cadillac CTS. The bottom line is that these transmissions
were developed for 260HP V6 engines, and they have had serious
problems with seals, loss of pre-load, whining, and wheel
hop which has resulted in recalls and thousands of angry
customers (see the Cadillac forums). Of course these vehicles
were heavier than a Miata, but even the similar size Pontiac
Solstice was recalled for these same differential problems.
The differential that Boss Frog uses is the track proven
Ford 8.8 with a custom independent rear suspension. This
bulletproof differential has hundreds of gear ratio and
limited slip options combinations available, all of which
are readily available anywhere. Read

- Driveshaft
Boss Frogs driveshaft has the biggest joints
and tube size available in these kits over 15% stronger
than a stock or competitive kit driveshaft.
- Axles
- the Miata CV joints were never intended to handle
the 350+ horsepower that these LSX engines are capable of,
so Boss Frog uses the larger Ford outer CVs. The axles have
large 1-1/8 diameter custom half-shafts made from
high strength 4340
shafting, and new Mazda rear hubs are broached for the Ford
outer CVs. Read
