Viper Engine in an F-body?
I've seen a Cobra kit car with a Viper motor and it was very tight. I'm pretty sure that the dash was moved rearward and there wasn't much room between the front accessories and the radiator/fan.
just cut the rad support and weld in a piece of square tube like all the FI guys do. You can move the radiator foward or get a custome one.
personally i would do an injected big block if i were you.

I have seen a picture of a viper v10 sitting in the engine bay of a thirdgen. The guy was doing a motor swap and just had the viper motor laying around so he dropped it in out of curiosity. It fit, but there was no room for headers or to get air into the front...the motor literally took every inch of the bay.
