A co-worker of mine had a Datsun 240Z with a big V8 in it. That thing was nasty.
It's cool to see the Miata on the top of the list. I remember reading about this waaay back when Monster Miata was doing this with the 1st gens. It's amazing that a car that small has an engine bay big enough to accept a huge engine like that.

Its from an Itanian company, De Tomaso, but was actually designed by an American man. I believe many of them came stock with Ford 351 Cleveland V8. There are a few amazing Panteras out there...
