V10 powered 89 RS
I posted this in the motor swap board as well as here since some people don't go to both forums.
This is pretty sweet,

the guy had a blown and stroked small block chevy in there before that most likely put out more hp than that viper motor. In my opinion he just ruined that car.

****ing awesome! The only thing I would do is repaint the car to match the motor.
I myself am currently looing into putting a 2003 Cobra motor in my 91 Z28. The only way I won't do this is if the motor is too wide for the engine compartment. If it is I'll see about a Nissan RB26DETT or Toyota 2JZ. This is not about going faster, I just want a Camaro that nobody else in the world has.

why would u put a cobra motor in when you could just blow a regular SBC??? Or go get one of those straight 6's from the new trailblazers and trubo that or something. At least keep it all GM. And where would you find a RB26DETT. Not like you see a lot of wrecked Skylines in the junkyards ya know.

Sometimes there is a reason why a lot of people have something. Usually it boils down to it being better. Ever wonder why certain company's products are so popular? Because every once in a while it is actually better. There are a lot of small block chevy motors out there because they are awesome engines. They can make tons of horsepower for a farely cheap price, sound awesome, have an almost unlimited supply of after market parts, and the list goes on. If you say money doesnt matter then why do you have an 84 camaro? If you truly doesnt matter and money is no option go get ureself a ferrari, something you dont see every day, not an 84 camaro with a different engine.

I've seen a 32v northstar in a 4th gen. It was at texas heatwave in 2000. I was parked next to it and slightly talked to the guy about the swap. Not easy is what I was hearing.
I agree with doing something different. However, my cashflow is limited so I somewhat agree on keeping it "gm" which tends to be slightly cheaper.
That looks like a tight fit, but different.

Good G^od 
! That is a monstrosity! The idea of putting a Dodge engine into a Chevy, but the fact that it is a Viper V-10 makes it a little better. I must say if I was going to do an engine swap, I would drop in the 572 BBC that GM released, has over 600 HP and TRQ I think.

The 84 was the first one I could get my hands on. I now have a 91 Z, an 83 Z, an 87 RS and an 87 IROC if the cops ever find it. Never said I was Bill Gates though, I just said I don't need to worry about blowing a few thousand.
I don't want a Ferrari. I want a 3rdgen Camaro that is different from every other 3rdgen Camaro in the world.

I think its tight as hell. That car will smoke 90% of the cars here, including mine. He didn't "ruin" it by putting in a dodge motor. Some of you are just jealous.

The Dodge motor didn't ruin it, the fugly yellow Chevrolet sticker on the windshield did. BTW, why don't you try a BMW V12 engine. IIRC the Cobra motor will be way too wide for our engine bays. Chev actually tried the BMW engine in one of their cars as a project car once. Or rework the frame and drop in a hybrid drivetrain from a Prius or something.

if oyu think dropping a 305 in a camaro is better than dropping a viper v10 in one you need to be shot. and black84z28 a rb26dett in a third gen is just degrading the entire third gen community, and it'll still be slow, plus i wanna know how you plan on doing an awd conversion on a 91 Z

Incase nobody figured it out, I will be going with the Nissan motor. The Cobra motor is too wide, and I didn't see any good enough deals on the Toyota motor that would make me choose it over the Nissan motor. The Nissan motor complete with the wiring harness, ecu and tranny is only going to cost me 6 grand. That's ****ing cheap.
