It has been done before
But it will take a lot of fabrication to do it , the viper engine is longer so you have to move the firewall back open up the trans tunnel etc just for starters

I think this shot puts a big dent in his value.... Can it be fixed? Sure... Would I pay his asking price.... No...

I wouldn't. Who knows how, how much or why the damage was to the oil pan. Did it lose the oil long enough to wound it? Who'd know and you'd want to take it totally apart to determine where you were at, as well as to weld up the mount ears; and all that for only $8K! Gee, thanks!  :thinking:

This was partially in jest.  I remember a guy on one of the TV car shows from the east coast did it, but it was essentially a body on a full tube chassis.  Pretty neat but way out of my league.  I do wonder about the IRS though.  I really like how my 2000 BMW M5 handles and my goal is to eventually equal or exceed that with the Cuda.  But, the M5 has an extremely rigid frame and IRS so it is probably a pipe dream.  I've got a long way to go before I need to even consider that.

They work pretty good. That one is lo-po but they modify pretty well.
