One of the most genius engine swaps ever...

Hey, I got an idea. Lets put a Viper engine in a Jeep Wrangler.



Copied from another forum..






Dan started with a 98 Jeep Wrangler Sport and proceeded to remove the complete drive train. It then received an 8.0L V10 from a 96 Viper GTS that provides 450 horsepower and 495 foot-pounds of torque. It is a tight fit but with some trimming of the inside of the grill and a Griffith radiator with electric fan it looks like it belongs there. Since both the TJ and Viper are Chrysler products the 8.0L wiring harness was easily incorporated into the stock harness and all diagnostics and systems are functional. A Borla muffler and custom exhaust keep the noise level to a minimum. Using the 12" pressure plate from the Viper and a 12" clutch disk from a V10 Dodge pickup all that power is sent to a New Venture 4500 5-speed. For the ultimate in crawl ratios an Advance Adapters Atlas II 4.3:1 transfer case is used. The front axle is a Currie Enterprises reverse cut Dana 44 with 4.56 gears and an ARB air locker. The rear is a reverse cut Dana 60 with disc brakes, 4.56 gears, and a Detroit Locker provided by Dynatrac. A set of 35" Swamper Boggers on 15x10 bead lock wheels from Marsh Racing Tires keep the Jeep moving in the right direction.

Is that the one in the video where it lifts the front wheels off the ground when he floors it from a roll?

That thing is SUPER pimp, I love it when people do weird shit like that.


There was an old vertable VW rabbit that use to TEAR up the local street races, it was easily a 10 second car.

I saw the GTS engine in a Dodge Charger once. Total sleeper, except for the tiny "GTS" logo next to the Charger badge. It was so awesome.

Hehe. They already have a Viper engine on a bike, its called the Tomahawk. And 150 isnt my record. Look above my avatar. My top speed has been 181.

Eh, not impressive. My friend has a better built jeep that'd stomp that thing. Why did he use a viper motor, it's way $$ to mod. I assume he did it just to say it has a viper engine in it. LOL, he'd be reading the license plate of my friends jeep. If he can read fast that is, haha...
