Michael4yah,
We actually (due to many outside sources) raffeled off the original DV for my last Fling. Chuck Siefke from Springfield was the winner. Chuck has been racing it ever since and has told me he refuses to even let his Corvette brethern drive it because it is so scary fast
After three years he has offered it to me for around 50K which if I had the cash I would jump on it!
Fella, if you decide to do it-DO IT! Done right, right suspension etc. the things are amazing. Absolutely feel free to call if you want, I will discuss the downsides with you at your lenght. I.e; wiring, (major item), especially now since Viper does not sell the "conversion" kit anymore. (They didn't do it when I did it either!) Headers absolutely have to be hand/custom built, frame rails even on a CR II car have to be modified for that huge bellhousing BUT the engine will fit in the hole marvelously! At your service Sir-please do not hesitate.
