Someone once posted on here this :"With a welder and skills , you can make just about any engine fit." Now here's where it gets just plain weird: This guy wanted to install a Cummins diesel engine in a '69 Camaro!

if you can stuff a falconer V12 into a C4 engine bay you can stick a Viper V10 into a Camaro bay. You might want to rule out late models for this swap; a later second gen has an extra long hood and bay however.

It would cost alot more than it would be worth. You could go stroaker or blower on an ls1 and make equal or more power for less than the cost of the swap... However I wouldnt doubt that it could be done.

I remember seeing a viper engine in that red ws6 with the flame paintjob that has the wings west body kit and commando spoiler. I think it was supercharged, too, but i guess the whole thing could have been a photoshop.

chek this out: http://www.cobras.com/elite/docs/Pics-cobras.cfm
there is a guy around here who did this too, put a viper v-10 into a cobra roadster...i'm sure the fabbing is easier on that car anyways, you just build the car around the motor...man that engine was tight in there! he was selling the whole car for 50k

I would hope noone would do that in the first place sure It would be fast but still It's not natural to put a dodge motor in a chevy and in the end you still have a lot of trouble with it mechanicly the intake system I know for a fact would be a bitch. But I did hear they put it a charger before
