so what would he have to pay for a good viper engine, more than what he would get back i'd guess

my enigne came out of a car that had only done 600 miles, on top of the price in the above link, it would need the ecu sorted to get round the imobalizer, that around 500 quid, or run after market, but for Ł per HP its not to bad, and they include the 6 speed t56 that people in america are running 1000hp though with no issues, the viper t56 is the highest rated t56 available of all the t56's

little update, chris my mate who's doing all the work, and whos sierra the viper engine is sitting in, stripped and resprayed the shell, and has got it back to looking like a sierra now, took it for a run down the road, you'll see from the video, there is still bits to be finnished, but its getting there

Few Dodge power wagons running around here withe 8.0 viper lump. Pretty nippy although they can't do anything with a woken cummins.

this has the later more powerful 8.3 gen 3 engine, and its been mapped, should give most the locals round the area a shock.

I discovered the very same thing with about 550 brake against Carls 1000 brake Viper at Fighting Torque 2009, and I still made 182.67 in a mile from standstill in 29.5 seconds, Carl did 199.9 in about 25 seconds lol

I will win as his diff will die,its still a standard 7.5 inch

we looking at supercharging the viper engine, so the sierra is more than likely getting a mustang live axle to take the power, same as the focus

Fair play mate you've done a great job on that and I think perhaps not enough credits given to this beast.
When you think about it Ł7000 does get you a very reliable 600bhp with a 6 speed box which is just starting it's tuning potential.
I love it.

Yeah I dont know if they even offer an SRT10 anymore .. Think its been replaced with the new Hemi found in the high end Challanger / Charger ..

Ford still offer the V10 in there Superduty line (Got one in my work truck)

this... supercharge = epic!

on the dyno at ford fair, 599.8 bhp 672lb/ft, stock factory engine, just a remap and free flow exhausts, old school, 2 valves per cylinder, push rod ( like an old crossflow ), NO turbo, NO supercharger, NO NOS,

dojj

at least it's got enough power to pull a fuel tanker behind it then

It don't feel as powerful as that on the road, it must be the crap short gearing it has

what pm would that be

its getting some better gearing soon, going 2.73 ratio to give it long gears to make full use of the power

Heeeeyyyyy, Captain America, is that you John? You're never Scottish are you, wow only er... erm....I had no idea, but you're alright now though aren't you?
Top work by Chris and John, Hurry up and get the axle sorted, I wanna see what 1/4 times this is gonna post.

compare that to how much it would cost to get a genuine and acceptably reliable YB at that power level!!

Maybe im getting old but the more i think, the better a modern V8 or V10 seems as a base for a high power car.

In real terms probably better on economy too I remember reading a kit car article about a ultima with chevy v8 power and at 400bhp that was still returning 25-30mpg on a steady long run using 95 ron and that was an ancient old chevy block, many of the newer v8's and bigger have more advanced fuelling and some even run on only 4 cylinders when not booting it. Where as a tuned cossie needs good quality fuel and once you get much over 350bhp you can kiss good bye to 30mpg on runs.

bj928

yes tis me, is that chris's cousin from down deal ish way, didn't know u was on here, and yes i was born in scotland for my sins, and trust me, u don't want to see me in my kilt on a windy day

got to get my engine bought so i can get some real power, v8 all the way for me, modular ford with a whipple

bj928

the old boat anchor image of the old big and small block cast iron v8 that didn't rev has long gone state side, my theory is buy american engine, use jap tech to run it as in electronics, and build it in the uk, modern american v8's are revving to 7k+ from the factory, some have 4 valves per cylinder, quad cam, and superchargers factory fitted with all the right bits inside youtube joe's gttt and see the ford gt 5.4 go to a reliable 1012hp at the wheels with just a pair of turbos and a remap, or the new 5.8 gt500 now coming out the factory with 662hp, makes the old stock 220hp cossie sound a bit crap, not bad for 2.0 but crap if u want big power, this viper engine with this tune is good for 100k miles easy, and a service ever 12k, unlike a cossie 4 pot with this power that would need a complete rebuild long before 12k

u can get a ford modular v10, hasn't got the power of the dodge engine, but could make good power with some work.

long live the american v8/v10

Well done john. This car is mental. I've seen u about in it a few times in swalecliff and at lydden hill. sounds a absolute beast.
