Pennzoil Presents Dyno Wednesday: Late Model Engines Takes 454 LSX Over 1000 hp
I’m thinking this monster would look real nice nested in the engine bay of some tiny, underweight coupe. Sure it would probably be better served pushing a Corvette or Camaro down the quarter mile… But the reckless part of my brain just can’t stop thinking about a 1000 hp Miata or something.
It’s a beautiful build regardless. Keep scrolling for the video and a full parts breakdown.
