New motor in the Viper

After a year of building and schedule confilcts, the new motor for the viper is in.

<embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" allowNetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvidmg.photobucket.com %2Falbums%2Fv254%2FATXCLS%2FViper%2FIdle-072211.mp4">

Unfortunately, as you see in the vid, it smokes. So, on Monday, the motor's coming back out to be fixed by the engine builder (miniscule crack in the head is the current prognosis).

Sounds like fun

It's a fully built, forged motor bored and stroked to a nice little 510 CUI. Notable parts include billet mains, titanium rods, TD RR, Crower rods, etc.

Motor is fixed and broken in! Car went to back to the performance shop on Tuesday for fuel system upgrade, computer install (AEM), and final tune. With any luck, I'll have it back next week

ttribe: We're expecting somehwere between 700 and 750 at the crank. I've paid dearly for an all motor set up and given the choice again, I wouldn't have done it. It would have been much cheaper and easier to simply through a paxton on it and call it a day. Oh well, c'est la vie!

Regrets or not, I'm sure it will put forth an impressive performance.

That sounds like it will have a sick lope when fully fixed. Can't wait to see more video of it.
