I agreed and then I started thinking...As far as easy to maintain, why isn't a hydraulic roller cam Viper engine easy to maintain? I mean, really, you have to buy 10 spark plugs instead of eight, and the oil change may require a few more quarts, but what else do you have to do to it?

Also, the Viper engine is all aluminum, and when you factor that into the build your cheap RB stroker gets expensive pretty fast.

As for power, TWIN TURBOS! how much do you want?

So the only real disadvantage I can see is space and possibly weight distribution.

Now ask me what I think about the truck V10 swaps.....
