I swear one day I will own one of those viper engines, except with it still in its natural engine bay

The Viper engine's native environment is perfectly suitable. I haven't seen any swap that made me go 'oooo that's perfect!'

I've always loved vipers, once I get some debt paid off (5years or so) I am going to look into buying a 2nd gen viper

[defprun]

They are around for about 30K, we paid more than that for our 2012 beetle.

Yup their prices are low enough where I could actually afford to buy it, so once my escape is paid off, I'm going for a viper

Some more progress

[defprun]

I think gas mileage would be the only deterrent. Its too bad Im working this weekend

Nice progress! If I had $30k though, I'd say a 3 rotor rx7 would be in my garage!

[sasquatch]

20b 3rd gen rx7 with a huge single turbo drool

Some more progress

So what size shoehorn did you use to get that sucker in there? :highly_amused:

I was very un-motivated last night otherwise I probably could have fired it up last night, it just needs a few more wires hooked up and the cooking system put in, I'll finish it up tonight

So I took the 30 mins today and got the engine bay fully back together and fired it up, it fired on the first crank too

I left the rad, bumper/front end off because Thered56 is coming tomorrow to check it out, with the snowfall we got today I won't be taking it for a drive tomorrow anyways
