Chop or Not? #2

[Rockefella]

I say Chop, the 'Vette's V8 fits a little too easily in the front of the tiny Miata. I assume for that to work, you'd probably have to stretch the front of the Miata and shoehorn the LS1 in.

Edit: No links please, ruins the whole game.

People always overestimate the size/weight of this engine.

i'd have to say that its a chop, because the engine part of the pic seems fuzzy. either that, or i need to have my eyes checked

[Pando]

My guess? Real. Why? If it is a chop it is quite good, meaning it has taken alot of time to do. Why on earth would someone chop a vette engine in a miata? Exactly. They wouldn't. Are there people with too much time? You bet. But in this case? You be the judge.

i say chop... if you look at the base of the engine you can see the floor through the engine bay right, look on the other side and its covering the hole ? maybe the engine is too small but wouldnt you try and line it up to be in the centre

I say Not A Chop.

A Lexus V8 Fits in there. Why not a Corvette?

[aNOBLEman]

I'd say real, as the engine could fit quite well into the Miata's engine bay.

[Vindesh17]

I say chop cuz the front of the engine looks too flat compared to the rest of the car, I mean the angle of the engine compared to the angle of a flat part of the car.

It's real.

Oh boy, I completely forgot about this thread.

Anyway, it's real

I'm 2-0 in these little challenges. SBC Miata might be the coolest swap out there. Might have to build me one of them someday.

I'm 2-0 in these little challenges.

Somebody should keep a track of the scores if this is going to be a regular thing

[Niko_Fx]

I have to get me a chop for the next one.

after having the guys from work look at this pic, we all agreed that it is not chop....but if it is! they did a great job....
