Guys yesterday I saw one of the coolest cars I ever saw! I saw a build on youtube that was completely custom, the coolest part was the power plant. It was a Viper motor that was twin turbo in a b body. I was really impressed till I looked up the specs on the older Viper motors and I came to an odd conclusion, puttin a Viper motor in a classic is kind of a waste. You can get the same if not more from a wedge stroker for far cheaper and easier to maintain. Am I out of line or is this how real mopar guys have always analyzed a v10 upgrade? It just seems very novelty not very practical at all.


The same reason people build Hemi's and not wedges the name and wow factor. O course Iam not talking about guys who race their cars but more like the average muscle car owner price not being a factor would rather have a V10 or Hemi under the hood then a small block or Big block wedge IMO
