How do people fit engines into cars not ment for them?

Question

I’ve seen engine swaps and stuff and I am wondering how people fit engines/transmissions that are for bigger cars.

I’ve seen the SRT Hellcat in the Prius and how they modified the car basically around the engine but I’m interested in like how they fit something like the Viper V10 or LS into cars that don’t have the same engine compartment but it doesn’t look like they did anything to it.

A lot of times non-essential systems like air conditioning will be removed, and other accessory things can be moved around relatively easily.

Also older cars used to have a lot more space in the engine compartment.

Sometimes a body lift and similar modifications help increase space where needed.
