In this exciting episode of HOT ROD Garage, presented by Lincoln Tech, Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa tackle the challenge of fitting a powerful engine into a compact car. Rather than the typical approach of boosting a Mustang 5.0's horsepower, the duo opts to squeeze the approximately 200 hp from a 1986 Ford V-8 into a lightweight 1964 MGB ex-racer. It’s a unique strategy that promises the same exhilarating outcome! The key to success lies in maximizing power while minimizing weight.
