That saab must be a hell of a drive. The thing with most of these swaps is the weight over the front but the saab has the engine so far back it solves most of that. Viper power with some level of handling in a saab wagon body is awesome.

S2000 engine bay is huge. LS would be easy, but I'm surprised how well the v10 fits!

it probably would. I don't think this was built to be ridden I think it was more to show that it could be done.

2. I have a pic of that one in the post in it's build process

I'm sure the viper motor isn't much wider that a LS but the added length could be problematic especially for hood clearance.

Yup a boat with twin viper motors

I think the Sierra is the nicest build of the bunch.

Don't forget this bad boy:

Kinja'd!!!

"Sniper" from Rad Rides By Troy in Manteno, IL. It started out life as a 1954 Plymouth Belvedere convertible and now has the motor, trans, suspension, and brakes from a 1998 Viper GTS.

it's pretty much a tube chassis with a saab body around it. you can read more about it here . I don't think it would fit as well in a stock saab.

this is what it started life as.

I forgot about that one. I remember seeing that thing on TLC's Rides about 10 years ago.

I thought I posted that one? but turns out I missed an image in my post. I have updated to include this image. That would be a killer ride I would love that.

That's where I remember seeing it, too. The other thing that stuck out from that episode was their ECU guy's 1200HP TT C4 Corvette. Their shop isn't too far away from me. I think I should venture down there soon.

I remember that Corvette as well. I really wish I would of bought the box sets of this show. That show was pretty special especially when you compare it to gas monkey garage.
