Very cool and impressive... just by looking at the firewall alone, it must have been quite interesting to shoehorn in such a big motor. Are these Viper V10's relatively light?

It seems like a lot of aggressive projects and builds are based out of Cyprus.
Thanks my friend..we thought that It would be better to try something different on the FD ..as its a huge engine comparing to its weight

The exhaust exiting the front fenders must nearly melt your shoes based on engine position. Is their any exhaust baffling at all or are you basically running open headers directly out the side? Must be EXTREMELY loud!

Thank you my friend...I couldn't reply you as soon as I share some more photos about the car as you mentioned we worked a lot to have the best solution about the balance that it would not be possible without cutting the firewall and having a custom made front and rear crossmember and a tunnel on the car...and about the weight its a alu. block 8.3 engine so I dont think there would be a big prob. about the weight I will weigh the complete car next week will let you know...
Thnkss..

Subbed. I have a soft spot for Vipers and FD's, so this makes me happy.

it's funny you mention that. i was thinking about a V10 or Merc twin turbo V12 swap the other day. after reading the article of the supercharged v12 Shelby cobra on speedhunters i just figured i'd check out what the engines and all are going for. it's amazing seeing people dreams come to life when they really think outta the box.

this build is so inspiring. you've taken a unique idea and turned it into reality. you're totally ******* amazing. i just can't say it enough. just goes to show you're only limited by your imagination...and funds. keep up your awesome work.

Hmmm, just trying to think about what FD swaps have NOT been done. Original 426 Chrysler Hemi might be bad ***. Especially if you could keep the car fairly "stock" looking externally.

Not sure if you could wedge that elephant in there, even with extensive firewall mods.
