that pic is the one on this thread

 

Holy ****.
AT least the viper is a respectable car. If you said a nissan gtr, now I might've been hatin. LoL

 

I'm in, sounds like an awesome build. Idk I'd I'm alone on this, but I HATE the way most v10s sound. Hopefully yours will sound good.

 

I did some research on the sound. I too didn't like. I found one post on a viper forum that stated it was because there is no x-pipe. I plan on trying a bunch of options until I get the growl I'm looking for. I want people to look and say hey that sounds different but, I just can't place it. I wanted the Gen4 v-10 but, now I am thinking of the Gen2 because I can get the motor and trans with 500hp for 6k. The gen four is a badder 600hp but the combo is 14-16k. 10k difference gives a lot more mod money.

 

That's true, usually just side pipes or whatever. I used to work next to a viper performance shop. They had a 1500hp viper, that almost sounded good. But I'm assuming those cars are just side pipes with no type of crossover.

 

When the time comes I am going to call Borla and see what they suggest for a more throaty growl. Found a mock-up viper block for $450.00. That is going to give me the time to fab everything and save for the final purchase. Also n a sick note.... I found a Rod shop that is currently putting a Viper v-10 in a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.

 

Subscribed..I want to see this complete.

 

I support this more than the Ecotec swap thread.

 

Do you already have the motor. And I would think one would have to be half way wealthy to pull ofvthia swap.

 

I do not have the motor yet. I am going to do the build in the beginning with a mock block from http://www.payr.com/index.htm. Well I am going to dedicate $500/week to the build. Thats the plan anyway.

 

$2000/month is about what I spent when I built my outlaw car... a year or two and you'll be there. Good luck!

 

gotta see this through.....this will be great...good luck

 

I'm on board, good luck!

 

I did some more tear down this week. I also ordered the mock-up block. Hopefully it will be here next week so I can start the front suspension.

 

Subscribed....sounds awesome!!! Cant wait to see progress pics!

 

Subscribed And Wanna See this!! YEA!!!!!

 

V10s can sound pretty good. Im looking at dropping one in a 70 challenger and have been looking for sound clips online. I havent found a good sounding viper, but the srt10 rams with the same viper v10s can sound nasty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwK4txj3xks

 

There is a viper powered 70 ish Challenger on you tube that goes against a Ferrari Enzo.
It's a beast!

 

20 to 1 this project is never completed

 

"20 to 1 this project is never completed"
we can hope (it is like believing in Santa)

 

I don't think length will be an issue. Someone swapped an Aston Martin Vanquish V12 into a Mustang and it fit:

http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2...-for-sale.html

 

It all should fit in, but the shifter for the tranny may be a little to far back to shift comfortably, so you may have to have an extended and angled shift ****, not too sure though. And if you do need it, its not really a big deal.

 

That didn't stop Shelby, he just had the shifter reversed in his cobras. Do the same for this. Have the shifter bent forward from a point further back, and there you go.

 

Subscribed. Looking forward to this one.

 

Thats what I was thinking about.

 

I'll Take your 20-1 odds. I will complete this. It wont be in a couple of months but it will be completed!

 

dude, your NUTS!!

its probably going to be a tight fit, good luck

if/when you get it done, you should get a few of the old Pentastars and put on the car, 1 in the traditional Mopar location, and then 1 next to each of the factory Z28 emblems.

 

Zpentastar28 emblem? Except that the Viper is a Dodge, "not" a Chrysler, like the Camaro is a Chevrolet, not a GM

Dodge has the double stripes, the 1st gen Z28 was Z/28. Make some Z//28 emblems.

 

all Mopars used to display the Pentastar on the lower back part of the right front fender.
but i think displaying it just on the lower right fender would be too subtle, so i feel something like 1 of these this would work.

 

.

 

yeah, that would work

edit, i just thought of something, "they" may say using the Pentastar like that on a GM is copyright infringement

 

Put a viper head instead of the pentastar, that would be badass

 

I drew up viper logo with the z/28 between it's teeth. I am going to have it machined by a friends machine shop.

 

Cant wait to see it!

 

Here is the rough logo before CAD.

 

That is awesome!!!

 

I like that logo.

 

i like it also....looks venomous!!!

 

that does look good

 

Someone did a successful swap into a mustang svt cobra a few years ago, side exhaust and all... came out completely ****, executed perfectly - cleanest stang on the planet and the only one I don't think is complete garbage...

 

Well if any of you guys are looking for some original 85 equipment, I have all of it. I am only keeping the T-Tops, Hatch, and Body. Everything else is for sale.

 

Off to get the rear frame damage pulled out. He is backed up so probably 2 weeks. SO I will start ordering parts.

 

Great project, I can't wait to see, also because I have one "similar" project with my GTA too

Engine is already here

 

That is awesome. Do you have any picks of your viper project?

 

No I don't, I accidentally bought this engine a few days ago for 1000€ , so first I need to see how to purchase transmission, engine harness and ECU.

 

subscribed... cant wait to see it start coming together!!

 

Great idea! Good luck with this.

 

Shone, is that a gen1 or gen2 8.0?

 

First gen, 8.0

 

Make sure you have a build thread on your project too!
