That would be great!:rock: I did see that listed and that would suit my needs.

how much power are you shooting for? and what kind of fuel mileage? also whats the weight of the car?

 

[Muck]

The weight of the car is around 4k. I was looking for around 450+hp, and I am not overly concerned about mgp, but would like it to be"reasonable". I want it to be a driver but not a daily driver.

I will pm you my number and we can talk about it. If you are serious send them a message asap and let them know that you want to send someone to check it out.

think i might follow the progress on this... Picked up a 10 +auto last week for my '49 merc... searching the net now for other parts.
What's the difference between a wire harness for viper for non viper applications and a OEM one?

I have a OEM computor so I guess i would need a OEM wiring ? (Problem is that the engine was removed from the donor by cutting all wiring leaving the engine thus need a new set.)

edit: damn, I just noticed this is an old thread.... bummer.

its not old any more:rock:

is it a car or truck ecm????

the ol boy that just swapped a Viper engine into a reg. Ram has a buddy that might be able to help ya out on a harness:rock:

 

[yellowfever#154]

Why the hell would they cut the wires? There's only three connectors for the entire engine harness. Buncha idiots, probably took longer to cut them than disconnect them!
