Few 16-cylinder engines were ever produced for use in cars. This comes as no surprise since a built V8 is more than capable of pushing out just as much power as engines with more cylinders at the fraction of the cost. However, that didn’t stop one Mazda Miata owner from creating his own version of the unpopular engine and throwing it into his car. But as we found out from Motor Authority, this isn’t just an ordinary V16. It is actually two Chevy small-blocks strapped together.

Rather than sticking with the Monster Miata platform, which puts a Ford V8 under the hood of the tiny Mazda, Tony Hair decided to do something a little bit more daring with his car. The result is a ‘90 Miata powered by dual-firing 350’s. We know it sounds crazy, but it seems to be just what this little car needed to be off the charts crazy.

The two powerplants are matted to a TH400 transmission complete with a shift kit. Although relatively stock, the engines are tuned for higher RPM to amp up the performance aspect of the Mazda a little bit more.

Surprisingly, this unique setup is still street legal and you can see Hair taking the car for a test drive in the video below.

While we don’t know what would possess someone to create such a car other than to have something no one else does, we’re impressed with Hair’s innovation. Granted, the car now has a turning radius of a full-size truck, but we’d still rock it for novelty sake.
