That V-10 is from the '94-96 Viper kit I've done several swaps using this style engine with very little problems. I did have to do some modifying to the firewall, the rad and the support but nothing major. I do think the newer Viper engines are a little larger in size and may cause a fit problem. By the way I don't consider myself a "pro" by any means, but thanks for the compliment

Here's my Petty Jr. replica built using the 2 kits shown, as well as some more of my replicas of which only one was actually a Petty kit the rest are scratch built replicas.:burnout:

This is a 1/32 scale kit of a 62' Valiant by a company named Premier. It is a crude kit. The box shows a 2 door, but the kit is a 4 door. This is one of those kits that has a separate roof, hood and cowl, trunk, and the sides are separate pieces. I got it with no windows, so I made my own. Interior is made with parts from the kit, and a driver from a slot car with a scratch built roll bar. Bumpers are from the parts box, and made to fit. It is mounted on a Carrera 1/32 scale slot car chassis.

very unique

You are correct sir they did do the Duster with the V-10 but I found that the engine seemed too small in scale it wasn't any bigger than the 340. But that is just me

Here's is my latest Viper engine swap finished a few months ago. It is a 1958 Edsel with a complete Viper drivetrain including front & rear suspension. I had to widen the body to fit the Viper track width. The interior is all Viper as well with 4 seats & full length console. The engine has twin turbos & twin intercoolers. This was a nitemare to build but the finished product was worth it.:wack:

Very nice looking builds! This is an original MPC kit that I found badly built years ago. I rebuilt it, but I can't remember where I got the decals from.

 

[NC Engine Builder]
