An oldie / goodie.

Elana writes some great, detailed, Viper-SRT friendly stuff. And she has become good a G5 ACR pilot too!

"The Viper engine has been disparagingly called a “truck” motor, due to the V10 configuration which seems at first glance to be similar to that of the Dodge truck line, and the initial prototype being an iron block didn’t help its reputation, but Viper engineers hate to hear that. “It’s an aluminum block based loosely off the small-block Chrysler V8,” says Winkles. “It’s not the truck engine. If you went through it, we shared, like, one part. A bolt or something. It was much more like the A-engine.” Think fuel-injected and fancied up 340."

I'm going to have this printed on business cards and hand them out every time some asks about my truck motor.

i always thought it was the 360 engine with 2 added Cylinders as the 340 was done in 1974.
