Earlier this month, we saw a Ferrari 458 engine mounted in the nose of a Toyota GT86. We had no idea how it was supposed to work. But now we have a first look at the build process, like how it will have intakes behind the front wheels.

Judging from professional GT86 engine-swapper/driver Ryan Tuerck’s walkthrough, it’s going to need a lot of custom parts to make it work, like the custom headers and an air intake system that runs through the firewall.
