Not while retaining the front suspension--there's not nearly enough
width between the spring towers. The largest that will fit without
extensive butchery is a Ford 302, a fairly common conversion. There are
even kits to smooth over the bumpy parts of the swap. IIRC, there's a
mailing list or forum where 5-liter Miata owners hang out.
