Swappin\' my Gen 1 for a Gen 2......

Well I've finally decided that I should put a Gen 2 motor in my 94' RT.

Yeah long time no talk.

No I just want 2 swap the motor. The way I look at it is a good 90% of the mods out there 4 our snakes are based on the Gen 2. Whether it be after market, or from Dodge. My car is in the process of extensive modifications right now and I've been thinking about the motor from some time now. I know I'm going to need new head gaskets in time, so rather than spend a minimum of $2500 cdn I would rather put it into a new Gen 2. More power 2 begin with, and it would have way less "clicks" than my current Gen 1.

Also my sponsor RSM Racing is going to be designing a super charger system this fall. And with a good 85% of our Viper cliental being Gen 2 based, the kit should be designed on a Gen 2 plat form rather than a Gen 1...

Well Craig you know how much time I've been puttin into my car...

I think I might be missing something too

Why not sell your GEN 1 and buy a GEN 2?? That way it doesn't look like you blew out the motor and got the wrong motor placed in... Just my 2 cents... Plus GEN II's are pretty well priced with the 2003's coming out.

Justin, that's a great idea!, when you finally get it pieced back together drop me a line, I'll be in barrie this year so I'm close and I have to go by you to get home.

Cheers,
Craig

You gotta see this car, it's not a "normal" GEN1, he's put too much work into it.
