How much does a viper engine weigh compared to a 5.7 or 6.1 Hemi anyway? I know you want the viper drivetrain but I'm curious as to how much weight it puts over the nose compared to the other modern alternatives.
A 3rd Gen Viper engine puts out 505 HP in stock form and being naturally aspirated...plus I can get a salvage one with a 6 speed for a reasonable amount. They weigh about 500 pounds.
A 5,7 or 6,1 Hemi weighs around 485 lbs.
I would prefer going with a much cooler and more exotic engine like the one on the viper. Plus the t56 6 speed comes attahced already!
I would definatly set the viper engine back though and I would cut the firewall in order to keep from mounting it with too much overhang over the front axle.
You'll have to consider the sound too, unless you put in a heavy sound system. In my ears a V10 sounds terrible. Nothing exotic about that...
BTW, what is the firing order on a gen III Hemi?
70 W100 Power Wagon. 318 4-spd
70 Sport Fury 440 2dr HT
71 Duster 340
71 Charger Super Bee - 383/727
72 Charger "Sabotage" - 440/727 - Street/Strip
78 Warlock in beautiful patina
