Wow! You're really committed taking on that large of a project. Looks good. :2thumbs: What made you decide to go with the Viper independent rear suspension and transaxle setup as opposed to just mating the Viper stuff to a regular rear end?

Viper crates are no longer in production as automotive crates....     some marine applications still exist - so i hear...

There are plenty of wrecked vipers out there...   alot of people get them sideways and never recover...

I don't know that anyone has tried to get performance data on one.  The only completed swap that I know of has been mostly a show poodle hasn't it?

I would have drive the ever living wheels off one though.  How could one do all that work just to say  "look what I did Bill, whatta think, eh?

I would rather see it blasting down a 1/4 or on a Road Corse!!!!

Me too, and I don't know that somebody hasn't.  It's just that I only know of that silver 68 as a completed one and I can't recall ever seeing where it was flogged.  I remember magazine articles about it but I only remember consttruction details never any performance numbers.
Anybody?

There were a few big-time show poodles built with Viper motors in the 1990s but we never really saw a trend in this.  That's why there is so little data about it.

Do you recall any used for other than show Mike?  I've been thinking about it and I can only recall the one Charger and a couple of E-bodies now.  Surely there were more than that though?  You're right, it never really took off did it?

do you plan on reinforcing those engine mounts?  i would not feel too comfortable with that setup as it sits if it was me.  those welds and where the mount sits leads me to believe that its integrity, coupled with a 500hp V10, will not last very long.

dang, that is seriously custom, understatement,  and independent rear suspension, will handle like no other charger

Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

Sweet!
How do you expect the clearance to be now? Im guessing that will be one of the low points by the look of it.

WOW! This project is very interesting. Thanks for sharing you pictures. I was thinking because you pushed the engine so far back and cut the firewall would be easier to put the radiator in front of the rad support and push the engine up 6 inches?

That is outrageous. Very nice fab work. Have you been tracking your hours?

I am looking forward to seeing this one done.

Here is a link to another second generation with a Viper engine!
