Wow! You're really committed taking on that large of a project. Looks good. 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?

[PocketThunder]

Holy Crap is right!   

[moparstuart]

Where do these guys get these engines? The Viper crate motor is out of production right? There cant be that many wrecked Vipers...

I WILL ADMIT, V10 CHARGERS ARE PURE AWESOME!!!

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...

what would the quarter mile times of a viper powered charger be?

[Ghoste]

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!!!!

[Ghoste]

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?

[Mike DC]

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.

[Ghoste]

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?

[sardillim]

Custom motor mount are made and the engine is in the car with out help
