The sky is the limit... people have swapped in LT1s, LSx motors, big blocks, forced induction applications, ect. Depends on how much time, money, and patience you have.

I've got a 97 V6 that I am pretty sure killed a bearing so I've been looking into swapping it to a 5.7 and it looks like it will work out OK withount to many modifications...


anyways, like listed above, I've heard of people doing all sorts of things.. maybee take a look at this thread if you didn't find it before

Pretty sure that swapping just the engine won't work. You may have to change the suspension, and transmission as well. I personally wouldn't stop at a 350 if all that has to be changed. I'm considering a 383.

You could put a viper V10 if you wanted... she'd be a bit noseheavy but its doable.

The 93s were available with viper 6 speeds and the 94 on 6 speeds were engineered to be tougher than the viper 6 speeds. So the transmission should be able to take a 1st gen viper v10 with nothing more than a bellhousing swap. But you better put a new rear end in it, youl'l kill yourself if you dont.

I saw a picture over on ls1tech.com I think, of what appeared to be a f-body with a viper V10 in it. It barely looked like an f-body as everything was moved, even the radiator. But it was in there... The swap wasn't complete yet though.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out. Just more proof that some people have too much time and money on their hands.
