In a thrilling episode from the MotorTrend Channel, the team embarks on a daring mission to resurrect a stolen Mazda with a new twist. The stolen Mazda, previously boasting an Oldsmobile 455 engine, is now reincarnated with a 5.3 L V8 from an Impala SS, courtesy of the Hot Rod Garage project car. Facing challenges like overheating and theft in the past, the team dives headfirst into this new project with determination and grit.
With the Hot Rod Garage car disassembled, the LS engine and transaxle are salvaged for the Mazda, setting the stage for a complex and ambitious modification. The team encounters hurdles in fitting the engine into the Mazda, leading to extensive modifications and creative problem-solving. From cutting the frame to mounting the engine in the bed of the Mazda, every step is a test of skill and ingenuity.
Despite setbacks and challenges in alignment and suspension, the team perseveres and ultimately succeeds in getting the engine and transaxle in place. The project, though demanding, showcases the team's unwavering dedication and passion for automotive innovation. Through sheer determination and hard work, the team manages to breathe new life into the stolen Mazda, ensuring that the vehicle roars back to life in a spectacular fashion.
