I am not positive but i think viper heads would go right on that motor after seeing the short block picture.

I used to work on vipers

yea you can make the 1st gen viper heads work, but requires a lot of work , not a bolt on deal. They don't flow any better then the iron heads, just saves weight. This thing is already a pig, 100 lbs won't make or break it lol

trust me, I'm a cheap sumbich. I don't have much money in this swap and I think it's the best bang for the buck if you have a magnum powered ram. never heard much good about those 408 strokers and you already start off with 80 more cubes

Dammit, started out as Jan 2009, so I thought by the time I hit Jun 2010 it would be finished...lol... Either way I am in for updates. Exhaust sounds Awesome! V10's were never really my deal, but this is an awesome project.

Understandable. Hopefully you get a rear in there so you can post some sweet flyby videos or interior vid's. How do all the guages hook-up?
