Don't forget girth, probably come up small there too.

If you are going to put a MOPAR engine in a C4 Vette...........

Do it right.

Not a Dodge truck V-10 or Viper V-10.

SLOW>>>>>>>>>>>

Install a full race trim 426 Hemi.

Make sure it has 1,000 HP.

And you can add 40% nitro to the engine too for over 2,000HP.

Why not a turbine from a UH1 Huey gunship. Loved the sound of that baby.

Awesome, I see you went with the through-the-wheelwell sidepipes, and used the custom AC compressor conversion bracket which lets you use the stock compressor pulley mounted directly on to the cylinder head!

It fits right in with the idea of putting a Dodge V-10 in a Vette. I guess his Vette is too fast, he sure came up with an ingenious idea to slow it down & kill the handling all in one mod.

Can YOU put a V10 dodge engine in an '85 Vette? No

Can you hire the right people and have it done? Sure

Can you more than likely go out and buy a C6 or a C5 Z06 for less than the total cost of the conversion? Most likely
