Caleb Miller began blogging about cars at 13 years old, and he realized his dream of writing for a car magazine after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University and joining the Car and Driver team. He loves quirky and obscure autos, aiming to one day own something bizarre like a Nissan S-Cargo, and is an avid motorsports fan.

Three unusual rides were brought to the 2023 SEMA show by Japanese oil company Eneos, including a 1969 Jaguar E-type powered by the Toyota Supra's famous 2JZ-GTE engine.The 2003 Nissan 350Z also has an odd engine swap, packing two Honda K24 engines and two Honda five-speed manual gearboxes.Lastly, Eneos showed off a Toyota Land Cruiser truck, built off a 1997 model but using a 2009 pickup body imported from the Middle East.

Even wilder than the Jaguar is this 2003 Nissan 350Z, built by Ashley Robinson from MLZ Garage. Not much remains of the original car that Robinson bought for $800, with the rear end—damaged when he purchased it—completely removed in favor of a roll cage. Nestled among the metal bars is a turbocharged Honda K24 four-cylinder hooked up to a Honda EP3 five-speed manual. At the front of the Nissan is the exact same setup—yes, not only are there two engines, but also two manual gearboxes.
