Man if you got the time and money i say just do it to shut all the naysayers up and to prove a point that anything can be done.. i had the chance to swap a 6.4 hemi from a wrecked Challenger and the rest of the drivetrain from a ram and i let it get passed me and i told my self if i ever come across another deal like that im gona jump on it. So i say do it it would be one of a kind and bad a..

Financing this project isn't an issue. My only worry is getting the fab work on point and making sure everything fits snug. As to where I'm going to find a donor v10, I have a couple of close friends state side helping me out. Finding a hemi is no problem, if so I'd be going with 5.7l.

there are some decent differences between the truck V10 and the Viper V10. the viper v10 would be the only one worth putting in IMO
