will a viper engine fit in an ultima???

[brianlewis]

hi , i am thinking about building a gtr.
can anyone tell me if a viper v10 will fit and if so what gearbox would be required.
also has the chassis or body been altered over the years in case i find an unfinished one at the right price.
cheers.

how big is the viper engine,
lenght from belhousing to front accesory drive?
LS and SBC tend to be around the 800mm length.

if its much heavier than 150kg for the engine i wouldnt bother.

In a Word No....

Too large as standard, but anything can be made to fit if you really want to!

However... it does have huge power and V10's are cool, but it is SOOOOOO heavy!

IIRC it's similar dimensions to a big block, but lighter.

Here you go.
ILMOR is the marinised version - this drawing included the bellhousing & coupler, so you could knock a little bit off the length
