i was looking at getting an SRT10 from the US when i wanted o do a V8 swap in my FC last year but they are tooooo long for a sensible conversion! Anything will fit if you want it to though.

That would be a great engine!
Looks better in the Viper though I think.

to fit that engine you\'d need a bumper bulge! It\'s massive.

Was thinking about the V10 out of a dodge ram for my hilux........ same engine, just less bhp & more torque!!!
Actualy, it still had Viper writen on the red cam covers!!!

The only reason I was thinking of that was because there was one on ebay with gearbox, loom & ecu!!!

Man that sounds awesome! An even better result at 12th when you consider it\'s a genuine daily driver, a lot of cars that came in front of you weren\'t and all of them were a damn site more expensive! :)
