DV,
The quotes from the dealer mechanic was referring to the viper's V-10, he thinks of it as a truck motor (low revving, gobs of bottom end torque, blah blah blah). Anyway, I was sure somebody would have a difference of opinion on that motor. I have none really due to lack of any experience with it in particular, that's why I gave a source for the stated negative opinion. Just think it's funny that a mopar mechanic has such strong dislike for the best motor they are selling in a car nowadays. 128 mph ain't bad in the 1320. Congrats on all the fab work necessary to get it all together. What's the ballpark price on a crate V-10 viper motor anyway?
