can i get a sho of hands to how many people have "built" a viper engine ? not paid someone to do it but did it them self
how many people have built a viper engine, and just replaced the internals ?
how many people have built a viper engine, stroked out ?
let me see the people that have built these engine speak up !!!
iv built a viper engine, just replaced the stock pistons and rods - and i have a built 540ci viper engine...
can you tell me what the differance is between them ?
a stock vs a stock bore with forged internals
a forged internals vs a bored out engine
tell me what you felt in HP
tell then your talkin out your ass - v8 and other motors are nothing like the viper v-10
SRT10VENOMOUS your a stright up ****.... IMHO
Again Bud, I have not built a VIPER engine and I know likely you aren't pointing towards me, but I do have to say that all engines are similar in how they work and what they want and what needs to be done to achieve that goal whether NA or FI. I can tell you the difference in everything quoted above except for the math taken to find out exactly how much it was bored and stroked to achieve 540ci but a little research that could be had. I personally DO NOT know how far one can be bored safely, but can do the research by reputable builders who do know. I usually even take in alot of opinions from them all and come to my own conclusion alot of times. ( LIKE YOU CAN'T T56 A QC WITH THE AUTO MOTOR,LOL!!)
This engine does share alot of similarities with a 360 as well as rod length,piston size and so forth.
I only posted to help others understand a little better. Pistons, NOT RODS, CAN ABSOLUTELY GAIN POWER WITH THAT SWAP ONLY!!!
I do have a feeling my next project will be to not only cam and let Greg Good do some head work, but also likely bump compression via a slight milling of the heads as well as a slightly domed piston to get where I want. And I will more than likely use the vast majority of Chevy Speced internals due to price variances and availability.
WE ALL NEED TO REMIND OURSELVES AGAIN THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORUM, AND THAT IS NONE OF US KNOW IT ALL, BUT OFTEN LOOK TO ONE ANOTHER FOR SUPPORT AND IDEAS ON THESE BEASTS. THIS MOTOR STILL HAS ALOT LEFT ON THE PLATE AS FAR AS ADVANCEMENT AND IT WILL NOT HAPPEN WITHOUT FEEDBACK FROM ONE ANOTHER AS ALLIES TO LEARN WHAT WORKS, AND WHAT DOES NOT. WE MUST VENTURE NEW HORIZONS AND PRODUCE BIGGER WORLD RECORDS, TEXAS/FLORIDA MILE CONTENDERS (COMING SOON,LOL) AND ALL OUT STREET STOMPERS. WE NEED THE JOINED EFFORT OF THIS FORUM AND OUR FELLOW VIPER CAR FORUMS TO EXPAND OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AWESOME ENGINE, AND AS STINKER AND MANY OTHER VENDORS HAVE DONE, BRING NEW IDEAS TO THE PLATE THAT WORK!!
I, FOR ONE, AM ONE OF THESE MEMBERS THAT HAS DISSECTED MY TRUCK IN THE NAME OF MAKING A BETTER TRUCK THAN WHAT DODGE DECIDED WAS NEEDED. FROM MAKING A QC A STICK, TO INFUSING A REAR SWAY ON A QC, TO MY OWN DROP KIT, CUSTOM AIR INTAKES, DAYTONA WING ( REGARDLESS OF OTHERS CRITICISM), REMOVING AND POLSHING/PORTING MY INTAKE RUNNERS TO SEE ANY BENEFIT WITH A LOW HP TRUCK, AND PLAN TO KEEP ON PUSHING THE ENVELOPE AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS ON HERE PLAN TO. LET'S KEEP THIS MUTHA ROCKIN' GUYS!:burnout::rock:
