Average Rating: ⭐ 0 (0)

On this episode of HOT ROD Garage presented by Lincoln Tech, watch Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa try to stuff 10 pounds of engine into 5 pounds of car. Instead of the usual HOT ROD tact of doubling or tripling the horsepower of a Mustang 5.0, the guys decided to take the 200(ish) hp of this 1986 Ford V-8 and cram it into a tiny 1964 MGB ex-racer. Different route, but same terrifying results! Power to weight is the name of the game.
