Is there a word for when a car has an engine that comes out of the hood? Like in this picture.

Chopped is the right word for the ghetto look. Usually the roof is lowered and skirts added.

@SW-User Sorry peekers, chopped is not the right word. 'Chopped' is cutting the floor from a vehicle and raising it inside the body, so the vehicle sits lower to the ground when re-installed on the frame. Think lowrider.

And a 'chop shop' is actually an illegal operation where unidentifiable parts of stolen vehicles are chopped inidividually off the vehicle and sold.

Not that I'd have any first-hand experience 😏
