Does anyone know have an idea much work it would be to drop a Viper engine into an F-body? I'm looking at one w/ very low miles at a good price. Also does anyone know a place in Columbus, OH that would do it?

if you buy the viper engine cheap why not drop it in a whole nother chassis something very light .

I think youd have a big problem fitting it into the fbody chasis. You would have to rebuild the front k member.Even then, I dunno, I dont have any experience, im sure someone who does will chime in.

I doubt you would be able to get it to fit properly. Take some quick measurements of the length of the block and then measure the block in you're f-body. Add the extra length and see how far forward the motor would protrude. I think you would run into issues with it hitting the radiators.

might try searching the 'net a bit - there was one company in AZ (forgive me I dont remember exactly) Arizona Speed & Marine perhaps... they were dropping Ford PU V-10's into mustangs. Real nice clean conversions from what I remember. - companies like that would know real quick what fits and what doesnt.

these guys would probably know - http://www.w2wpowertrain.com/

Would be pretty sweet ill tell ya that much. But ya those motors are very long so i doubt there is enough room.

why not consider putting it on an IROC (weight 31xx lbs) also i guess u have the room there.

first of all, that's sacralidge to put that motor in an f body, #1 it weigh's a TON, and #2 you can get just as much power out of a bigger CI lsx as you can from that v10, and it won't sound euro-trashy. #3, it will never fit... so it's not an option anyway.

it can be done, it may not be easy though

I'm gona say length is the biggest problem the cylinders have about a 4 inch bore so its like adding a cylinder to each bank of an LSX engine. But with enough money anything can be done I remember a few years back there was a V-10 PT Cruiser running around the auto shows.

Um have fun. Make a thread when your done because no one has done this, and I doubt anyone will

ExTurbo

id say it could probably be done, but itd be cheaper to build an LSx block like JL ws6 said...and yea its sacralidge...your allowd to put an LSx in a viper but def not the other way around..ha

Nowwhat

IMO that may be moving in the wrong direction....I have $40k in my viper v-10 motor....1100rwhp...for half that you can get a top notch twin turbo lsx that is lighter and cheaper to blow up....

You talking the valve cover? If so, what is wrong with them, you saying cause the valve covers are so high? That seems to be how the engine looks:



BTW, I'm not trying to say that the car is real, just saying it looks like they just took a picture of the engine and put it into the car type thing if it was photochopped.
