Question type: Car Customization

I feel this question is Blasphemy lol but im still going to ask. So my dream

would i be able to fit inside of one? like exotic car wise i want to put
something like a Ferrari engine into it but i dont know what would actually fit
inside one since i havent actually seen the engine bay of one

(Few engines i was thing were 458, 488, and f430)

This is something that would happen decades probably into the future

Lots of fab work, insane wiring and money. Anything can be done

Small block and big block Chevy engines will work. I would stick to a small block. Ferrari engine swaps are possible if you have hundreds of thousands of dollars to blow. You can get Ferrari power out of a SBC.

Basically. A well built N/A LQ9 6.0 would throw down enough to put a smile on anybody’s face and the car would be much more manageable as far as drivability goes.
