Viper Engine in an F-body? 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?
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/

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.

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.

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.
