It's been done before. But the ones i've seen they took their time to make the engine fit under the hood or the holes cut into the hood were done by someone with a measuring device and a steady hand.
I'm sure we've all been there before. Meth'd out of our minds and trying to finish an asinine swap and getting a little twitchy with the Sawzall.
I never said the hood vent on my old WRX was cut properly or without alcohol. I'm just saying, this guy should have.
If an LS series engine fits well into a Miata without cutting the hood, the guy who did that Impreza has no excuse. Fail.
I would of liked to see the dealerships owner when they found out someone at their dealership gave someone money for that thing.
