Whats your better idea? Has to stay 5speed/4x4. Ill wait
Im totally with you when it comes to mutt swaps in cars but for this truck I need a veeery tightly packaged motor due to the cross bracing and shock hoops. If the tranny options for the 2.0 or 2.3EB becomes a thing id probably go that route. Its not a priority build period so theres time
This is what I hoped you'd say lol
That is exactly what I'd do too. I can do a budget 351 Windsor build and make just as much if not more power, easily with off the shelf z-heads. That ranger is way too pimp to go sticking an LS in it. I love LS motors....in GMs
@blk02edge
Definitely do an LS! Love to be hated. Lol
will I go to hell for selling my 5.0 for a c8? Will my Viper be jealous?? Jesus Himself might off some baby kittens. **** me I never thought I would actually want a corvette and white new balance shoes ..... =(
ur a dirty camaro whore !That is exactly what I'd do too. I can do a budget 351 Windsor build and make just as much if not more power, easily with off the shelf z-heads. That ranger is way too pimp to go sticking an LS in it. I love LS motors....in GMs
No, but you may go to Nirvana.
Have you though about the possibility of the Vette making the Viper seem lame?
guilty....

I would imagine the c8 to be a "smooth" like power. More like an exotic, with the mid engine placement. The Viper is just raw and violent lol. Technology and comfort wise the c8 looks to be amazing. My GTS is flat out old school. If I get a C8 its gonna be the daily for sure.
Unfortunately... 5speed 4x4... Drivers side drop Tcase, all while fitting in the tiny ranger frame. The chevy nv3500 tranny and t case are all a perfect fit. Ford has only one option that bolts to the 5.0 block and its awful. If someone knows more options im all ears but ive done hours and hours of research. HahThat is exactly what I'd do too.

No adapter for the nv3500 from AA?
Nevermind. Just looked. They only have a nv4500 kit
Not mine. I mentioned it earlier in this thread but those are my good friend George's cars. After spending time with the white ZR1 I may see if Nick can change my color selection to white. The black accents with the white looks so badass in person and I think it would have the same effect on a GT500.
If it matters, the RWD R8 was no slouch either.

This has been overlooked and I was going to bring it up back when but forgot. Yes, why would GM advertise its weight by "Dry Weight" is weird. I like this statement the best...
"It is significantly less than the weight of a vehicle in a driveable condition and therefore rarely used. Quoting a dry weight can make a car’s weight and power-to-weight figures appear far more favorable than those of rival cars using curb weight"
Without a driver this should put it between 3500-3600lbs
