Well did you snag up that v10 motor?

For 3500 you can put a viper body on your car.

Why stop at a Cheesey Dodge V10 ? Go for a Rolls Merlin, then you will get attention.

what does this have to do with C4 tech? you have to be a few bricks short of a load if you want to put a V10 out of a viper in a C4.

Troll post, bait.

Theres a guy on the chevelles.com forum that is putting one in an A body. Engine compartment is WAY bigger than a C4 and mods are super extensive to make it fit, from teh crossmember, floorpan suspension fuel electrical etc. Not a simple or cheap undertaking

Rick, I think the V10 is out of a pick up truck, not a Viper.

This is lesson #1 from my late friend Bill R. back in 1987 when we 1st met.

I was 17 & just out of highschool.

"WHAT GOOD IS A MAN IF HE WILL NOT STAND UP FOR HIMSELF & DEFEND HIS OWN HONOR AND FOR HIS LOVED ONES & CLOSE FRIENDS?"

That lesson was never forgotten by myself.

He left me words of wisdom to live by daily right before we parted ways for the night & went home each.

Have Jim build you a 415ci - 419Ci.

They run hard too.

4.145 - 4.155 bore.

3.875" stroke.

6.0" inch rod.

They wind out to 8K with a good valvetrain.

Can be done on a tight budget of $5 K.

421's are great too.
Need to good flowing Heads & Intake for them to perform at Optimal Power.

I saw this too, but it brings to mind, even if it fits, and you make it run ect.. how will the car handle.. thats alot of weight to add to the front, and if you do have to lengthen the frame.. that changes the wheel base...

A good Stroker Big Twin Harley with a 5-speed or 6 speed trans will run 140-160 MPH flat out.

I know 1st hand.

I have done it.

Any other Smart comments will be duely noted by me.

Before you were born, I and a few friends were runnin old pans and knucks cross country on a regular basis. did you forget to have your coffee? dont have the slightest idea what you're talkin bout, think my post was for pete k. and thanking him for 'splainin things. I'm kinda losin track of this thread. your tech info is good , takin things out of context is a bit weak. Havin read your last couple of posts , I think you' take yourself waaaaasaaaay to seriously. try and be a little more 'real'.
