    Very professional vid! I wouldn't sweat the "haters", most guys here are pretty receptive to "being different" as in hot rodding. As far as "bang for the buck", I've got 1/4 of what a Coyote swap would have cost in my LS motor...

    (Impressed whistle)... (One more time).

    Awesome fab work and quality vid! Even though I, too, am a Ford-in-a-Ford guy, this is one sweet ride and the tremendous effort put into it can't be ignored.

    Props, man. :thumbs2:

    Wow thats one serious build. Nice work. I dont have a problem at all with the Viper power in it. Having driven many years and models of Vipers I can relate to how wild that car will be to drive. The torque is unreal. I agree with Pete I never cared for the V10 sound but they sure are fun. Once you drive one the sound becomes secondary even to my fussy ears. As big as those 315's seem that power plant will make them feel like 195's. LOL.

    Thats one impressive build. Awesome fabrication. I think I'm going to join the long line of people wanting to see this finished.
