Here is the website of a UK company that builds a Miura kit also.... Parallel:

The American thread is a really good read, I read it all last year. The level of detail & reworking of the body is an education to all. Its all somewhat let down by the fact is fitted to a modified Fiero chassis & the wheels leave a bit to be desired. Fitted with a transverse LS engine too.

Does the Parallel kit not originate from the Prova or are they separate entities?

Could it be possible that the Parallel chassis may have just one too many diagonal braces?

Were the moulds for this take from this?

The shape of Miura reps. are so far off, it's pointless.

The shape of this is correct, albeit in grp. I've had a quote for one of these bodies.
'Would have been better with a 308/328 motor?

Hey all, thanks for replies.
I am in no way locked into engine choice, I was thinking that way as the engine is very lightweight, I have one, and I have the tuning software for it.
But definatly not locked into that as a choice.
Cost effectivness probably pushes an Italian based engine/drivetrain out the window, not many Italian cars on Australian roads, so second hand cars or parts are very expensive, in comparison to say a Japanese supplied driveline.
The Miura in that article would never be permited to gain registration in Australia, due to the cutting and welding of the floor pan and chassis.

Late Toyota v6 mated with an Mr2 gearbox would be a good choice, more chance of those on your side of the pond. With the LS engine youd be very space limited and probably need to supply an engine/box assembly to Hawk or Listerbell, just to make sure it'd go in. I can assure you it would be very tight or wouldnt fit at all, across the engine bay. If you could find an inline transaxle, you'd have a good chance of the LS fitting in the Listerbell in conventional North/south orientation but not so with the Hawk.
