Let me try to piece this together here. Someone took a Gen III motor, converted it to 4 cams but decided to use the Gen I twin throttle bodies with twin cables and Gen I alternator and intake. That must have cost some serious money. ;)

It would be the ultimate stealth motor!

Link failed for me - but I take it this was a joke?

40 valves makes sense - there is ahuge amount of gain in that - but 4 cams does not make as much sense. The advantage of OHC vs OHV threshold is at rpms way beyond anything an 8 litre engine will see. The lighter valvetrain of a 4V engine makes OHV the most efficient design up to 10,000rpm. So don't be jealous of the quad cam engines - it's the 4V that makes the difference.

Nah..The owner just doesn't know how many cams are in a Viper. There's no quad cams under a set of stock valve covers..

Actually, the owner doesn't even know what a Gen III (2003) engine looks like as the picture is a Gen I.

OK, so I ask this person this in an email, and yes I was a bit harsh, but went in thinking it was a scam.
Hey Dude,
you stupid or what?
(1.) that engine your trying to auction is from a 95 RT/10, not a 2003.
(2.) the size is 8.0 not 8.3.
(3.) in all cases the viper has only ONE cam, you fvcktard! Nice scam.
She came back and said,
Just for your information, the photo was from online. I have not taken a picture of the engine I have which is a 2003 viper engine.

I am not a dude I am a lady, and your fowl remarks were definitely uncalled for. You [******] eating, dick sucking [******].
Quite a "lady", sent back it was fraud the way she put it up. We'll see.

Look at the feedback. Three ebay deals and two of them received negative feedback.

"Fowl" remarks? Are you living on a farm?

Perhaps the extra three cams are spares.
