In a recent Rob Dahm video, the team embarked on a daring quest to fit a massive engine into a tiny Miata. The challenge was as daunting as it sounds, with the crew facing a barrage of obstacles due to the engine's sheer size and weight. Despite the odds stacked against them, they dove headfirst into the task, showcasing true engineering grit and determination.

The journey was not without its setbacks, as they grappled with the engine's dimensions, weight distribution, and various components. The team meticulously measured and analyzed every aspect, from the throttle body differences to the engine's torque capabilities, highlighting the technical complexities involved in such a feat. As they delved deeper into the project, it became apparent that fitting this engine into the Miata was no walk in the park.

However, the team's perseverance paid off as they successfully managed to squeeze the engine into the Miata, overcoming the odds and celebrating a hard-earned victory. The moment of triumph was palpable as they marveled at the sight of the engine snugly nestled inside the compact car, a testament to their unwavering dedication and skill. While the engine may not have been a perfect fit, the team's determination and ingenuity transformed the Miata into a unique and awe-inspiring creation, showcasing the beauty of pushing boundaries and defying expectations.
