really if you find me a website that says otherwise ill believe you but i've seen alot of magazines say its a truck engine and that the transmission technically isnt a truck tranny IT does shift like ****

 

The tranny in a Viper is a T-56 just like in our F-bodies (with beefier input shaft and blocker rings ofcourse). A little by this whole arguement.

 

Don't worry about it man, he's just a 15 year old kid that doesn't know a whole lot about cars yet, but he's trying to come off as an experienced vet. You are right about the tranny.

 

Plus Viper motors are aluminum with different everything on it....

where as the truck 8.0's are iron blocks....worse heads, intake manifold....etc.......

 

yep thats me btw dont judge me by my age *******

BTW i never said it had to be in a truck to be a "truck" motor fool but it IS very close to a truck motor so stop your bitchin

 

how is it close to a truck motor? Just curious for your view on this!

Chris

 

Except for... you can't power shift, do any sort of High Rev Launches i also hear it sucks for road racing because 4th gear is crap my .02 cents

 

You should watch your language...kid.

Ok, then tell me how it's like a truck motor.

I'm not the one doing the ******

 

And how would YOU know this???

What do you mean hi-rev launches and power shifting?? Ask Tanner on here about those-he's got a Viper-spec tranny on his car.

How is 4th gear crap?

 

i would like to know also, how it is close to a truck motor??? just because it is a 8 liter with about 500 cu doesnt mean its a truck motor.

BTW this is the time when you remove foot from mouth and lick your wounds. Valuable piece of info: actually know what your talking about before posting.

 

research is your friend.. also i knew someone with one... said it idles like crap isnt smooth at all... then they started talking about how it derives from a truck motor how so i have no idea... btw these guys are mechanics so i trust them more than you

 

a very good friend of mine has a 95 rt-10 and its a pretty fast car. i dont really know how fast it is but SOTP feel is very very nice. he used to let me take it out all the time, but about 2 years ago, some guys from k-state took it out and totalled it. he had it rebuilt but only drives it himself.

 

the idea is derived from a truck motor, but that doesnt mean it is actually a TRUCK MOTOR now does it???

 

Yeah, I guess he thinks that the V10's, 12's and 16's in European sports cars are truck motors too.

 

could have sworn it was a 505

 

Oh, definately trust you "mechanic friends" more than the people who designed the thing.....I guess they probably have no idea how the hell they came up with that motor.....

 

488 cubic inches

8.0 liters....good job

 

read again kiddo, about 500 cu, if you wanna get techincal we can talk about how much pressure it will take to shove my foot up ur ***.

 

i believe the 3 of them have been mechanics for over 25 years... poor lil fella why dont you elighten me on how they came up with the motor

 

Well, it idles like crap because it's an odd-fire motor....and I don't know how it could have derived from a truck motor, because Chrysler never put a V10 in a truck until YEARS after the Viper.....the truck motor might have been derived from the Viper, but not the other way around.
