I'd contact Tony at JTSVP in NC. He can build you anything from stock to wild, reliably.

He is good. No idea on Viper engine builds but he's a good choice there if so
I've personally talked to Doug several times and he's helped me with my Viper. I'm not sure if he's taking on that kind of work, but if you're against shipping the truck (or having someone pick it up), I'd start with who's closest.

I used ARD Motorsports they are in GA when I bent a piston rod to rebuild mine. I feel your pain though, finding a shop in your home state that works on the viper v10 can be hard.
I'd give sean roe a call? He's in FL right? I know he doesnt do engine builds anymore but im sure he can recommend somebody in FL at the very least.

You can rebuild your motor for cheaper then 9500, it really depends on what kind of rebuild you want to do, top end rebuild? Built motor? Top and lower?

Again depends on your goal. Stock rebuild? Forged rods, pistons, biller mains, etc? $6500-20,000 lol
Cam? Heads? Shape of current block? Crank?
Holler at me and we'll get you what you NEED.
Doug Levin is not taking on that work anymore. I was one of the few trucks he worked on when I did my supercharger with him. These motors are really nothing special a basic push rod 360 with an extra 2 cylinder which brings in the Viper tax. At the very minimum even if you were to go back to stock (if you don't have to bore the cylinders) I would deck hone the block and freshen up the cylinder heads (install new valve seats). I speak from experience I lost my motor after my first rebuild because I didn't replace them. I know that Doug has a deck that you MUST use in order to properly hone the block. Hope this helps
