hi zilvian's,
I work at a dealer as a service adviser (im the nicest one there) and yesterday we needed to throw away boxes of warrenty parts, machines, and all these other good stuff. there was a wooden box under all that trash and so I took a hammer to open it to take a look at what was in it. when i opened it I saw a emblem of a snake on the complete red top motor with tranny, harness and ecu, I almost blacked out cause there was millions of things running threw my mind of what i could do with this motor. I ran to my boss and asked whose motor is this and why are you throwing it away? he said, "an ex employee of ours had a viper and got in a accident and took out the good parts out and sold it, and he left the motor here and no longer needs it." I asked him if i can have it since you guys were gonna throw it away anyways, mind as will just let me have it and put it to use..... he said its all yours just find a truck and take home after work and all you need is alternator and timing belt. so I have the motor at my house and i know it's worth alot of money. I was wondering if it is possible to fit that beast motor in my s13 coupe, the motor w/ tran is pretty long cause I saw alot of people wit ls1 motor in ther s13's, so what do i need to do to make it fit. I also know that I have to do alot of cutting and welding on the engine bay. Can you guys please help me out here? thanks......:eek: also please dont hate, im just ignorant....

Your on your own, nobody has done anything like this. Find a shop whos willing and crazy enough to attempt this.
Or
Sell the damn thing and get enough money from it to do a regular swap.

Would it even fit?
Would be pretty neat to see though. Definitely a cool find. If only i could crack open a box at work and find an M5 V10 chillin in it.

06-13-2007, 11:25 PM
yea, its a srt-10, i know that anything could be possible. also the mechanic who works at the shop has a lotus motor in his 86, but he is on vacation, otherwise I would ask him to him me.

It would be a cool thing to attempt, but like was already said, you would be pretty much on your own for figuring the finer points of the swap out (wiring will probably be your biggest pain I would think)
I personally would just sell it. If you do go ahead with the swap, definitely keep us posted though. haha :)
hungry4JDM
06-13-2007, 11:29 PM
yea i also thinking of selling it, and get a built high compression ka for like $4000. you guys know where i can a find a cheap one like? I only know ams performance motors? i will also keep you guys posted if it happens, but first thing on my mind is selling it and get a few 240's or ae86 like nismornr said....... but it is one of a kind swap, something i would see in my dreams

KA. man that motor, its so sentimental to me. it sucks, well.. in many ways it sucks. but, it CAN be made into a decent motor. still, it sucks too much to waste time with it. SR is just *that* much better, imo.

If an inline 6 fits front to back (RB, 2JZ), and a V6 fits side to side (VG, VQ, LS_). I don't see why it shouldn't fit. Although a V10 is a beast of a motor, you may have the next crazy S-chassis swap! It might be too much of a project to handle but I'm sure that has been said about previous hybrid swaps! The real question is: "Are YOU up to the challenge?":naughty:

Sell it, get an SR, buy yourself some strippers, and call it a day. Sweet find though. I'm jealous.

edit:
nevermind , i would also like to see pics. damn, the question in my mind is that why would your boss just throw it away when he knows about it? if i were him i would've sold it to a race shop!
Take some measurements and see if it's able to fit. It will take some work for sure, but if it fits that'd be an awesome swap IF you can afford it. A turbo motor will never have anything on you.

I like to stick with original, like a ka, cause whatever we do its all the same shit just different setup....

Honestly if it was me , i would keep it and put it into some oldschool car, my preference a 1972-74 240z datsun (one of my dream project car builds so far, you can put just about any motor in that car, hehe). I think you would have alot of fun working on it and learning alot about it, and doing alot of custom work to it and welding and fabing stuff up for it (if you know how to weld), but hey thats just me.
You got it for free, remember for free. no reason trying to sell it right away, hang on to it for a little while and then make a decision. Remember once its gone its gone haha.
oh well, thats my opinion. Old school cars with up to date motors is freakin sick.

I had a feeling Luke would rise to this occasion lol.
I would say sell it myself and take the money and damn do any conversion you please LS1, RB, SR whatever. With the cash you get from selling your pretty much home free on any swap you want to do. I would imagine the torque that engine puts out would rip a stock s chassis to shreds.
Hooorahh!
06-14-2007, 12:06 AM
that'll b hott a viper engine on a s13 wow !
ur a lucky ass ! i wish i can find a viper motor @ work and get it for free haha ...
but yeah if u would plan on putting it in i hope u have lots of money cause just like it coa$$$t alot of money to just drop IN a Rb26 Ls1 in to a s13 im sure itll coast that much + alot more and ohh man wiering .... but yeah lets see the pics!!!!!!!!!!!! and a note that said it was free haha j/k

like i said uopthere a millions things were going threw my mind and i almost blackout, sometimes when you find something like that you wish you never found it in the first place cause once i do something with it, i might regret it and i would be like aww shit i should of done that. also alot of people ask me what would you do if someone wrote you a 1 million dollar check, i dunno, but its possible.... dont say im lucky cause someday youll come up with a rare find for free too...

a 72 240z is a 2350 pound car, a mid 72 240z is a 2750 lb car. They stopped making 240z's in 73 and went to 260z's for the 74 model year before going to 280z's in 75 . Bottom line of all of this is like what i stated previously the torque of a Viper V10 engine would rip a stock s chassis or HLS-30 chassis to shreds unless completely stich welded and caged. For the most part short of someone like Luke doing the install its the kind of engine install people start and never finish. Like I said and lots of other people have said he can sell it for big bucks and pretty much install any dream JDM engine or LS1 and it would make a lot more sense.
While the idea may sound cool the reality would be a pain. He stated he posted it on ebay and he is going to sell it. Thats a wise decision.

Lotus engine in an 86 isn't crazy.
They're Toyota motors.
Sell the Viper engine, and sell your S13. Use the money to buy a cool car you can afford.
V10 in an S13 would cost way too much for all the amounts of custom work you'd need done to the chassis, drivetrain, and in custom parts.

The place you work at and the ex-employee must both be pushing big stacks if they were going to throw away a Viper motor, and then let you have it for free, instead of either one of them selling it themselves.

ok guys, like i said i work at a mits dealer as a service adviser and i do get paid big dough but my friends on zilvia will jump me for my atm card if i tell you my salary and the owner of the dealer owns and manages 9 other dealers, this guys plus my main boss are fucking ballin, they both have hot wifes. owner drives a maserati to work and has hella cars chilling at his garage, boss drives c5 corvette superchared hella other crap on it. so my boss became my best friend after a while, i take or took hime to drift compititions, crusin stuff like that, and he knows that the motor is worth that hella but he doesnt have time to sell other buy a shell and put the viper motor in. so he knows my situation that im working my ass off trying to built my car. so thats why he let me have it and there was a $30,000 smog computer that he threw that away. but anyways my boss doesnt know that i can do something this, putting a viper motor in my 240, so he said sell it and built your car, what i wanted to do is slap that motor in my 240 and sell that shit on worldwide ebay and buy a simple daily driver/drift machine and invest the rest. i like to keep it simple and not buy and brand new car like you evo/sti bastards. spend $4000 and my 240 would keep up with ur evo. anyways we all will grow up and would like to own a house of our own and use the garage for a mini shop..... so im sorry i wasted your time. i just wanted to know if its possible to fit that motor in the s13... and all those guys who want pictures, i will steal my boss's camera and post those pictures of the motor with that note...... i will also hire an asian stripper with. thanks for all your advice

Bro, it's sad to see so many people thinking inside the box on zilvia
why dont you see if it will fit first, take measurements of the motor, side to side and see if it will even fit in the chassis, then measure how long it is compared to a stock ka
if it all is somewhat close and you got the money, fuck it and build it up. that would be such a fucking sleeper a v10 s13.
petty much the only thing you'd need is custom motor/tranny mounts, driveshaft, radiator/fans parts should not cost you more than $1k
the biggest challenge is going to be the mounts to the cross member but it is not impossible.

06-14-2007, 02:10 AM
some on ebay went for 8-10k but they were older engines..sure you could get 12 or more for a newer one...but yeah if i were you id sell it and save the money since whatever you do to it youll never get back when you sell it
save it put it in a high interest account and let it build

are you high?? no more than 1k? first off its a V10...slightly bigger than a 4 or 6cyl secondly everything would have to be custom fabbed not to mention wiring and fabrication thats never been done before which equals serious cash and time....that all putting aside the fact that the engine and tranny is probably about the same size as his s13

that sh*t is fuc*in NUTS!!! if you drop that shit in your car, i live in San Jose, i would love to hear that pull up next to me, and thinks its a viper, and turn my head and find out its your 240
if you make 60-120k ay ear (speculation) then you probably own a damn camera, im sure if i "found" a viper engine the first thing i would do is take a fucking picture so people would beleive me! and im sure anyone that has earned enough money in their life to know what is worth (money) wouldnt just give you a 10k engine for free, no matter how good head you give. 30k smog machine my ass. i take it from the way you say "hella" in every other sentance that you are from cali? seeing as thats where the smog is at why throw the damn thing away if its worth 30k and you have a great use for it........

Since you got it for free, if you have the capabilities to do it, I would honestly give it a shot.
complete overkill, whatever whatever, but since you have the thing for free, I would go for it. Just don't fuck it up, and you can always sell it if you decide it isn't going to work.
If you were wanting to know if it would be a viable swap to purchase, then I would say you are fucking dumb, but since it fell in your lap.......

I'd realy like to see some pics, this is hard to believe it was in the trash.
If you realy do have it, I'd like to buy the tranny from you, I need it for my ls1. pretty please?
Your asking price of over $10k is kinda high, theres been a few motorsets on ebay go for around $6.5k
Fitting it into a s-chasis is possible but it will take some work. The tranny is a different version of the borg warner 6 speed thats on ls1's so i know that will fit with just a little hammering to the tranny tunnel. And the shifter would be in a pretty good position, not in the back seat like someone said. That should place the engine around the same areas as an ls1. Take a look at an ls1 in a s-chasis then imagine the extra cylinders up front. You'd end up running into the radiator panel. So if you went with a partial tube frame front and new points to mount the radiator i'm sure it will fit. As far as wiring, it can't be too hard. The harness on american cars are extremely simple and theres plenty of companies that sell stand alone harnesses for under $1k
i'll trade you for my ls1!

If the guy was making $60-120 a year he wouldnt be driving a 240sx around town. That would be a drift/weekend car and you would have a nice car to roll in during the week. This is what i do anyways.

yea i also thinking of selling it, and get a built high compression ka for like $4000. you guys know where i can a find a cheap one like? I only know ams performance motors? i will also keep you guys posted if it happens, but first thing on my mind is selling it and get a few 240's or ae86 like nismornr said....... but it is one of a kind swap, something i would see in my dreams
i you want a ka to build i have one that i snapped a connecting rod in with no damage to the block at all and a brand new tranny so if you want to have a beast of any motor your always better off building it yourself.

I would tend to agree, as the story has gone on it has become more unbelievable. At first it sounded a little plausible, but then we he started bragging about how baller his boss and bosses partner was, I was like this smells like a troll. Especially when he talked about the guy tossing all this other expensive stuff.
People that are really into cars and are rich don't just throw away super expensive stuff. They sell it. They know the value and the only way they don't care is if they are coke heads and then they sell it to supply their habit.

If an inline 6 fits front to back (RB, 2JZ), and a V6 fits side to side (VG, VQ, LS_). I don't see why it shouldn't fit. Although a V10 is a beast of a motor, you may have the next crazy S-chassis swap! It might be too much of a project to handle but I'm sure that has been said about previous hybrid swaps! The real question is: "Are YOU up to the challenge?":naughty:
This V10 is an 8 Liter not a 3 Liter or a 4.5 VH. or a 5.7L LS1 its freaking 8 LITERS. itll be a tight fit.

I'm seriously like 2 clicks away from banning this clown just because.
1. no one just FINDS a viper motor.
2. how come the jackass who made the said "pile of trash" you were going to throw out didnt think to take the motor himself. Considering there's 4 pages worth of people you dont know telling you to sell it and take the money, i dont think its hard to believe that the person accumulating this glorious mound of "trash" wouldnt be thinking the same thing.
3. you work at a dealership and you dont know the value of a viper motor let alone what to do with one that you supposedly just found so you hop on the internet to ask a bunch of strangers what to do with your miraculous discovery.
4. not one picture of this metaphorical pot o' gold at the end of the rainbow in 4 pages.
ummmm yeah.....
If your next post doesnt have pictures of this motor with you standing next to it holding a piece of paper with your screen name on it for everyone to see, you're banned. I dont care.

im not sure that motor will fit, ive worked on both Vipers and S13's.
Im almost positive that it wouldnt fit without EXTREME surgery, and anything other than burnout contest would mostly likly end up in into a wall

I just still find it hard to believe, especially with the differences in the pics. I'll be seeing a viper tomorrow, I'll probably decide one way or the other then when I compare what I see here, with what I see there "in the flesh."
And yes that pic is photoshopped... I still think it could be done though. If you hacked the car right up.

Not possible unless ur willing to put that annual salary into this swap. I doubt this thing would even come close to fitting in the bay. The viper is basically a car built around the motor. Unless u hacked ur whole front end up and extended forward about a foot or two and increasing the front width by an equal amount, or u dont mind having a v10 sittin in ur lap or havin ur new driving position in the same place where ur back seats used to reside, it aint gonna happen. Think of the shit like tranny mounting engine mountin. Where is ur radiator gonna reside? Hoses, various lines. Resivoirs brake booster, and wut else there might be as u will have ( - ) room for anything. Buy a charger or cuda and drop this in or sell asap. Or u could keep it and turn it into a table and tell people ur dick is bigger cause u have a viper motor as a coffee table.
p.s. s13's suck anyways and arent deserving of even the slightest consideration of putting something like this beast into such a small little man's car. They ugly too.

apparently there's been quite a few changes to the viper engine over the years. looking through pics, some have the alternator nested between the throttle bodies, some have the alternator sitting under the passenger-side TB. Here's a pic of one with the same intake manifolds as the OP's picture (notice the 4 machined ridges as opposed to the 3 in the pic johngriff posted):

i would sell it personally.
I mean its going to cost more than a fucking brand new evo or something else and it might not work out.
The chasis will need a lot of back up, that motor will throw off the wieght of the vehicle too, more than rb by like 100% and more than a V8.
for the money you get for it you could bore and stroke an sr20det throw a twin scroll gt35r on it and probably have money left over for suspension and other shit.
but hey do what you like, if i was rolling cash I guess I might do it.

Well, I just looked under the hood of a Viper for myself (didn't have a camera though :( other guy from work needed to take it) .... but it has the 4 machined ridges on the valve covers like the OP's pics and pretty much matches everywhere else I can see as well. I would say the OP needs to take some better pics (IE: Open the damn crate all the way and get a full shot that INCLUDES the Viper stamping on the motor with proof of the date)... but I think this actually may be legit. I'm still a LITTLE skeptical, but I'm begining to think this guy may have the best find/giveaway I've heard of in a LONG time.

I would say while looking like it might be for real, there is probably a problem with that engine. Just because its a engine sitting in a Crated box does not mean its a running viable engine. Again like I said earlier if his bosses just toss good stuff like this they will probably wind up losing their wealth due to lack or fiscal brains. I.E. they are fools for tossing this kind of money. Which again makes me wonder about the overall condition of that engine.

Good to see proof that you actually have the motor. Now sell it asap and invest the money, then buy a business.

if I put a piec eof paper with "prove for zilvia" on it and lay it on the hood of a ferrari, tape it to the ass of a hot girl, or nail it to the door of a mansion, does that make it any more mine?
moreover, if there already happened to be a tag or piece of paper in that picture, how easy would it be to photoshop "prove for zilvia' on it? and even if there wasn't... how hard would it be to chop that paper in there?
answer me these questions.

god, you people are pathetic, the guy got a nice windfall and all you can do is post pages and pages of bs. I certainly can see a dealership throwing it away, especially if it technically belongs to a former employee. The company I work for throw away tens of thousands of dollars worth perfectly good stuff every year. With union labor rates, it's just not cost-effective to pay people to sort through all the stuff, so it just gets pitched. When a business does tens to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of businesss every year, some used engine sitting in a closet ain't worth much, even if it may be desireable to a bunch of car nerds.

good point, but a dealership full of a bunch of car nerds doesn't have a viper motor sitting for giveaway. Like I said earlier, the engine may be there in person to write a sign and stick on it to take some pictures, but I highly doubt it would be given away.
However, assuming you aren't totally full of shit, dropping that motor into an S13 could be possible, but EVERYTHING would need to be fabricated from scratch and it would cost a shit ton. Not to mention you'd have to strengthen the entire body by stitch welding and bracing or it would just rip the car in half.

*cricket, cricket* I feel like I just watched someone give the how dare you for cheating on me speech. (ackward)
Dude if you expect to continue to be apart of the Zilvia community you need to grow thicker skin or find another damn 240 forum to sell your bullshit to. If you didnt want to cause such a dramatic reaction you should of said something like: I thought it would be cool to put a viper engine in an s chassis is it possible? Or has anyone ever seen a viper enging in an s chassis, is it possible?
You say all this stuff, dissapear, re-appear with a few pics and wonder why everyone is questioning it. This place isnt for show boating or gloating. Its to get technical help, share the wealth of your knowledge and sit back and bullshit. There is no need to try to walk in your first day and try to oooh and aaah everyone.
P.S.-Most of the Zilvians are assholes, thats why we all like this forum.

NEWS FLASH!!!! I dont care if you think i'm a dick. Thats your fault for posting stuff that made and still continues to make you look like an idiot. Stop whining.
If you act like a jackass, i'm gonna call you on it. No matter who it is. Ask anybody on here, i dont play favorites.
This thread has run its course and i know if you post something else in here its going to be stupid and then i'm gonna feel like banning you just because you're irritating. So to avoid all that and save you from being banned (or receiving any more negative rep from people....cuz i know they're doing it...lol), i'm closing this.
You can thank me later. :bow:
