wow, lots of time, cash, and expertise when into that. kudos to the fabricaters/shop and owner.
looks like as big a job as what my brother is planning for his next project(1gen dsm+cummins I6 twin turbo+dana 660). he wants to be able to pull both our AWDs on a trailer behind it to tracks, bashes and events instead of using a truck. why... because he thinks itll be badass and has the cash/time/tools to get it done.
Insane.. i love the old M3s.
no....he really wants to throw a full cummins straight 6 twin turbo in rwd orientation with a dana660 into his gutted 1st gen fwd n/t laser. the car is going to be a half-back tube frame with a 6 point cage tied in to the rear tube and front chassis. it'll need a massive cooling system and the fire wall replaced for sure, already has lexan all the way around for windows and the exhaust tunnel extended for the driveshaft. cost is going to be around 2300 for motor and tranny, 600 rear end, 500-1000 driveshaft, 1000 for metal, gas and rod(tig isnt cheap). then the body needs paint and sheetmetal panels installed in the interior in a few places for comfort on long trips.
Thats not a Viper engine....

In Darrens defense, he is a Canadian.
HEY!!!!!!
I was told that it was a Viper motor, sorry
Either way, its one hell of a build. The fact that it looks stock in there is the thing that makes it so impressive.
By whom? Please smack him once for each of us....

"V10 in a box" made me laugh. Very nice work. Was hoping for more pics- love seeing the fab work people do.

Oh. My. @!#$ ing. God. That is utterly and insanely awesome. And lol @ Viper engine! When I saw the M5 engine cover I was like, "wait a second..." haha either way, still freaking cool. 500+ HP in a little M3 like that, must be a kick in the pants!
