Are there actually any Vipers left with Viper engines in them? They now seem to be in everything else except Vipers! ;-)

they probably come from all the crashed Vipers...

rather than go on that, you may as well just drop the engine block on your head and be done with it. It's where it's going to end up anyway, cut out the middle man.

Yeah, I was waiting for that - preferred it with the original body and the Wolfies - RR did us a favour losing the grille though

Awesome!

Does it count as an engine swap though? Charlie's SD1 surely does but The Beast was built with the Meteor engine from the start so it was never swapped in.

The same goes for RV3 imo, awesome car but it's a spaceframe and fibreglass car built around the engine. RV2 would count, steel bodied and several engine swaps, ending up with a huge 9litre monster.

Awesome cars though, I do agree with that.
