“A Dodge Neon can go that fast?”
Ift has a blower motor in it, it will. :) You can by a kit to put a V-8 in a mazda Miata. I once saw a 350 small block in a triumph tr-7. These kids nowadays are clever.....when they want to be.
Years ago I had a room mate once who was putting a Corvette engine into a 1984 Volvo sedan.
I still cannot wrap my brain around the “why” of that.
He said there was only 1 person in all of America who understood and could help with mating the two disparate things.
V8 in a Miata? Meh. I see your V8 Miata and raise you with a Viper V12 in a Honda S2000 ...
And Triumph also built a TR-8 with a Rover V8 engine.

People have been putting v8’some into small cars for over70 years!
