Why you got one laying around? I'm sure its possible, you would probably have to shave the shock towers and run a coil over setup.

It might fit.
Im pretty sure Ive seen an SN95 in a magazine with a Ford v10 in it so the two v10's should be similar in size.

In reality its not worth the cost or effort.

Yeah, saw a V10 SN95 on TV years ago, think it was on Horsepower TV or one of those weekend car shows. It was a test mule of some sort, for a Shelby or Cobra that was obviously never built. In fact I think Carroll was driving it.

I remember they did a break stand with it and the front brakes couldn't hold the car back. Front brakes were locked and the car was still pushing forward at a fast rate with the rear tires up in smoke....crazy!

I've seen a Ford V10 from a F350 somehow jammed into a fox before (with a lot of work, firewall moved back i believe), don't spend money on a viper motor unless you have one already laying around. If you do have one laying around buy a shelby kit car with no motor and jam it in there somehow instead

that just means the rear tires had more traction than the front, my friends stock '03 GT with gears and Nitto DRs did the same thing.

why would you violate a perfectly good fox with a dodge engine? use the ford v-10 and so what if it shoots spark plugs outa the heads. besides that you wont be able to make any turn at more than 10mph. well to each his own and if yah do happen to do it put a vid on Youtube id love to see it.
