Hey Guys, this just came in my email! This is wonderful!! I am curious as to how much this engine will cost???


As a VCA member, you are among the first to hear about this offer from Mopar Performance. The Dodge Viper 8.3L V10 crate engines are now available for immediate delivery from Mopar. Very soon, however, the information about these engines will be going out to the general public, so if you want one you might want to act fast.

Sounds like they've got some leftovers...

Right, why not dump old stock, especially with New Engine on its way.

I think money might be better spent buying some of the new 08 parts.

So who's going to spend $12K+ (assuming it will cost at least this much compared to a Gen. III engine) for a new '08 engine for a whopping increase of 50hp? Will they throw in a free tranny and give you trade-in credit for your old engine?

Good points.

Good points.

I can see if someone blew a certain engine and wanted to replace it with this Mopar version under warranty perhaps...I saw your baby at Tator's Tuesday...along with a couple of other blown engines...sad sight. Hopefully Chuck will get it back to you better than ever!

Folks, you had better act fast and get one of these as they won't last long!! I called my friendly Mopar dealer who I have a wholesale account with and here are the prices:

List: $30,999.00
Wholesale: $27,278.00

This is not a misprint!!
He was showing 2 in the warehouse. Act fast....

i wouldn't spend 27K on an engine.

id buy a used one and send it to my engine guy for a lot less than that and have more HP. and know its done right.

I would have to be smoking crack to pay that for a Gen 3 motor w/ 550 hp. I could get 750 rwhp for that!

 

[Disturbed]

For 30k-35k you can have a built bottom end and a twin turbo system installed. 20k for the turbo system (including fuel system AEM and tuning) And a built bottom end from proline will cost about 10-15k. Then you'd be making about 800rwhp-1000rwhp. Not contest IMHOP.

 

[plumcrazy]

but his block is busted so add a few bucks in for that.

 

[2002_Viper_GTS_ACR]

one decent question to discern from this, is what did they change to get that extra 50hp out of the engine. New cam ? New Heads, new what? What parts are different on this block then our stock blocks. Might be worth a little investigation to see if there is a quick win of 50hp somewhere on the table !!

Heck...most SRT-10 Rams are barely worth more than that...and they have a whole truck wrapped around virtually the same engine.

See my original post for a list of the upgraded part.

Basically it has a different cam and some minor internal work for an additional 50hp. My guess is that the 50hp has something to do with a different exhaust than comes stock.

I don't think it comes with exhaust....

Are the cam specs listed the same as the Comp Coupe?

Are the A356 heads the same as stock?

Maybe someone with extensive knowledge can answer.

Very, very pricey.
