Stanza as in US-spec Bluebird? That's interesting. I always liked the
Stanza... You can make a KA rev if you want to, but that's not what
they were made for. KAs were made to grunt, i.e. pulling a load in a
truck or hauling the heft of an Altima or 240SX without boosting. You
can make a KA do about the same thing as an SR, but it costs just as
much money as getting an SR.

That's *REALLY* interesting. Do you think the Miata transmission would
bolt to the SR20DET's bellhousing? By SR20DET, I mean on that you'd buy
from a JDM engine importer to put in an S-car.

Compared to what else is available on the same platform, yes they are.
