I just got a 1991 miata. And I got some big ideas for this little guy. I was wondering if anybody has put a new miata engine into an older miata??
 
Yes, it has been done many times. I can't tell you for sure what is needed, I imagine you would have to get the ECU and wiring harness to make it all plug and play. I would recommend a Google search, maybe check out the Miata.net garage to see if there are any how-tos.
 
Define "new" engine. Are we talking about the NC engine? Or one of the versions of the 1.8L engine from the 94+NAs and NBs?
 
Any engine change between 1990 and 2005 is essentially a bolt in procedure. I have an '01 1.8 in my '90 chassis.
