Mr. Fixit, the only similiarity to the Dodge truck V10 and the Viper V10 is that they are both 10 cylinders. The block isn't the same, the valve train is not the same, nothing is the same!
No offense to your Mopar mechanic, but if he is that familiar with them he should know there is no similarity.
My DV Cobra runs 11.01 in the quarter, pulls the front wheels in first and second gear, red lines at 6,800 / 7,200, (maximum torque occurs at 5,800 to 6,200) and hits 128 mph in the quarter. All this on an absolutely stock motor. Crappy motor? I think not.
Jim,
Obviously this mating is not for the faint at heart. You will have to modify the frame where the transmision goes - only. You will have to make your own motor/frame mounts. You can now buy all the parts you need through mopar preformance, engine harness, computer, etc. The headers are all hand made. Sorry, but we don't ship anything for these out of house.
Our web site has been converted to the Fling. We are in the middle of creating an entire new web site for
www.cobras.com, we've changed service providers and when all this is done... cobras.com will be back in force.
Feel free to ask for help if you want/need it, I will try to do what I can.
