Nice! That looks a bit like a 1957 Chevrolet. There are many here in the US with big engines in them.
There is a mechanic on youtube who is installing a Jaguar V12 engine in a 1966 Chevelle Malibu.
Engine Reveal! See what crazy engine the CAR WIZARD has selected to put in this '66 Chevelle Malibu - YouTube
I watch some of his videos. He is a very good mechanic.
