A crate motor is $17k. I can probably find a blown block with the spun bearings for $3k...but why spend that when I can just use my motor? I should have an update today from the machine shop.

I've already found a buyer for my headers, KWs, and recently purchased LED lighting and upgraded bulbs to redo the gauges, interior lighting, and headlights/fogs.

It seems like the Viper will be up for sale as soon as I get it back

More power to whatever you decide!
Thanks. Maybe I should make a poll like some people do and have strangers vote on what kind of car I should get next?

The Viper is rare due to the low volume production. I love the black on black look and the fact that it's slammed. It would also be cool rolling 3 deep in Porsche turbos...plus I'd be back into boost Boost vs. NA power
Boost_lee and DEpointfive0 like this.
