Tau V8 Engine Weights & Dimensions

[Sivart9876]

I know ahead of time how persnickety forum member get when a newbie asks questions... but here we go.

I'm in the process of Frankenstein-ing a Miata, and I'm weighing my options on an engine to place in it. Most of the usual suspects like the Ford and GM V8s are getting super expensive; and for some reason, the quite impressive engines in Genesis/Equus - G80/G90 Tau V8 can be had rather cheaply. I have been looking everywhere for weight specs and dimensions for both the 4.6 and 5.0 engines but cannot find them.

Can anyone on this forum help me out here... the 3.3TT engine weight and dimensions would be great too if they are handy also.

Thanks for you time and patience fellas!

Can someone explain how the engine adjusts the tuning (timing) for 87 vs 91 octane?

I don’t think it has anything similar to a flex fuel sensor, and I can’t imagine a guess and check with knock sensors would be too sustainable.
