The 2004 Viper engine and Tremac 6 speed actually fit quite well.

The engine is about 6" longer than the old 318 so I will have to go with a custom radiator and electric fan, but otherwise things look like they will fit OK. The new unit is all aluminum so it is much lighter and the front sits about 2"higher. Now I have to hook up the fuel, cooling, and electrical so I can fire up the motor!

where did you acquire a 2004 Viper eng/trans?

From a wrecked Viper. The engine/trans units are often for sale on Ebay.

I hope you have a nice pair of taillights, because that's what the people see most of your car.

Terrific job! Please post more pictures of your progress!
