Yep, SRT-10 straight out the Viper. They use them on a pickup truck too.0 -
How much structuraal work is that gonna need, totally new drive set up just to handle the power!
Cheaper probably to just buy an actuall Viper. but wicked funny on the lights when everyone hears that!0 -

read (if using Chrome) or look at the Pictures. Yes that is what he is doing."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

M**********r!! 8)
With the stiffening up the chassis is going to require, I can see why he's done such a job on the tranny tunnel.
The SRT-10 wouldn't be my choice of mill, but damn, he's doing a fine, fine job. Beautifull fabrication on the shell.
Quality find, Mr louse! I'm gonna be keeping me an eye on this.How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

I wish I could weld
Not that welding is the primary barrier to me taking on a project like this...

so mates were waiting on some wheel spacers from them. they were 4 months late. all because of the "Delivery Van"."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Simular to my plans but mine would have a 911 turbo mated with a 4 wheel drive system

I know the answer is likely to be "Because" but as a Saab Aero driver I have to ask "Why ?" :?:Ta Muchly

I thought of that while riding my bike.

Yeah. Kinda answered your own question there. 8)How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

Because one of his customers has a 800bhp 4 banger

and he had a crashed Viper and the time."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

That's why they're making that car, faster deliveries = happier customersnicklouse wrote:so mates were waiting on some wheel spacers from them. they were 4 months late. all because of the "Delivery Van".

If the wife would let me it would now be a full stripped 180bhp turbo Panda, no weight plus power = fun, just for the sheer fun of doing it, either that or a nitro'd 16v original mini turbo. Had the 16v and the nitro but ripped the sub frame off before I could fit a garret .Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

You people need to keep away from bangshift.com
It's taken whole days of my life! :shock:
...and given me really, really bad ideas :twisted:
Hmm, a 5.3 v12, an XJ40 back axle and an A35. It might just work.......How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

8) that would be one frighting panda! LOL
You can get the 1.3 jtd up to 120bhp for £300, I'm quite tempted to do this with my next bargain car. Seen the 180bhp one, fookin mental, if I can find it theres a great film of it out dragging a mini cooper.Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

Loving that Saab.
One of the guys I went to school with build something like this many many years ago. He put a Rover V8 into a Morris Marina van that the company he worked for used to deliver 'specialist' tyres in. Awesome sound and accelleration, but handled like a dog.

rear suspension has been fitted and I have just heard it is off to the paint shop as I type.

I love mental custom builds like this. Might be a bit nose heavy mind, should get the engine from something like this:

Have to admit myself I don't get things like this at all, for all that money could just buy a decent car
but hey ho if we were all the same it would be a dull world
