Sounds like opening pandora's box to me.
I'm trying to visualize how that would fit? Doesn't seem like there's enough room to add the length of another cylinder on each side.

Are you serious?
First of all don't panic. The viper engines are not that uncommon, unlike the more expensive c4 ZR1 motor.
Secondly it probably can be done if you have all kinds of skills, abilities, imagination, tools, shop, money, friends, etc.
Good luck. It's a pain converting corvette parts to a corvette let alone a viper motor to a vette.
FWIW a clean gen 1 viper can be had for 20K now on the right day.
If you are willing to hack up the c4, then you'd be further ahead to put in a Big Block IMO.

Or just buy a supercharger.

So you want to open the hood of your vette and see a dodge logo there ?

GetLS3 , LS7 or LS1 if your budget is tight.

Build a street rod with lots of room inside the frame rails instead.
Leave the GM all GM.

Most likely another 8-10 inches between the firewall and front end.
