Anything's possible with enough time & money, but the 4BT is one lump of an engine (big & heavy). Yes...I know there were some "Monster Miatas" with the Ford 5.0, and have been plenty of small-block conversions, but the 4BT is heavier than any of those motors. But hey, I'm not stopping you. Go for it!
Even thought it might not be as much of a "man motor" as the 4BT, I think a well-tuned VW TDI in a Miata would be pretty fun. Assuming you could adapt it to work in a longitudinal application.
