Looks like it holds a little over 8 liters.

 

[Jeff Torrey]

Still to small to fit a wizard, so I'm not worried yet.

Chuck got rid of his dog?

 

[RikRok]

If he sent you a puppy, he should have cut air holes in the box.

 

[DAMN YANKEE]

I'm thinking more like a big box from Delorean....

What;s locked up so tight behind the wooden doors?

Thats the inside of the garage doors....All locks on the inside so there nothing on the outside at all..... 2x big barn doors and one little pedestrian door..

An engine assembly from the USA to the UK? Holy shipping charges Batman! Is it from a red Viper or is it one of those slower engines?

 

[Mr Hemi Head]

What no HEAVY warning labels!

The Postman now has a hernia.

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

Gen 1 engine... Gen 2 car.... ???

 

[DodgeViper01]

What is the new engine going to be used for? How much was it to ship and is the engine used?

 

[VIPER BAZ UK]

Its going in a 1994 that has a blown motor............
But be all better soon...

 

[Viper Wizard]

What no HEAVY warning labels!

The Postman now has a hernia.

LOL Rick!!

It is a GENI motor and it was shipped by air! The next box may have me in it because I'm installing it.

 

[UK Viper Nigel]

It's mine!

Thanks Baz for posting the pics and for helping move it half way round the M25 North Motorway in the UK. Also thanks to the Wizard for shipping and other support.

Lucky break - brand new, fully dressed motor with zero miles. Looks absolutely mint and only cost $8,500 US on eBay from Crown Dodge in Camarillo, CA. Cost me another $3,000 US to ship but that was flying Tators to London Heathrow by British Airways. Crown even threw in free US shipping & insurance across the US - a real result. Estimates to source, ship and repair the old motor was getting towards $20,000 - and I'd have to clean the old bits before putting them back together!!!

Don't worry about the colour - it's fast, fine and will be dropping into my Red 94 sometime in the very near future. It's been a long time coming but worth the wait.

SimiViper - you were right. It is a nice motor and thanks for originally checking it out.

Nigel
I Got a PM today from a VCA member that is after the valve covers and intake...
I will forward it onto you

 

[DodgeViper01]

Wow. Seems like a nice project. Good luck and enjoy the new motor.

 

[Simi Viper]

Nigel, I'm glad you got the motor to UK safely, for a minute I thought the pics Baz post that crate look familiar, it's turn out it's your.It's looking good Are you going to install by youself?

Honest to God, when I first read the title of this thread, I thought it said "Big box OF tators in my garage". I was gonna move it to the Pit! LOL

So how much does a "crate motor" weigh anyways?

 

[Mr Hemi Head]

What a bargin!!

Thats only about 5,865GBP. A 50% discount by purchasing in the US!

Now if you only earned double the US pay scale.

 

[VIPER BAZ UK]

Then you add on the taxes 17.5% ....

 

[UK Viper Nigel]

KcoBean - The crate motor weighed in at 724 Lbs.

Have to say a big thanks to Steve at Moving-Parts who did the shipping as well. Very smooth operation - only hiccup was 'young' Baz going to their old warehouse - not their new one.

SimiViper - Baz and a couple of others are going to help me out. I'm sure we'll have a few pictures to share.

I didn't know he had moved

 

[Purdue_Boiler_Viper]

If I am not mistaken, isn't that an IMS emblem on the car? Have you been to the 500?

Keep that picture when Gen1 people ask about changing spark plugs and the thermostat.
