Sounds like you need to do some more research.

Cosworth head? Nope....not unless you drop in a completely different engine...

There's also no need to lower static compression lower than the 8.0:1 it is stock. Don't be dazzled by big boost numbers....esp if you want to use the car on a daily basis. Low compression and high boost sucks for a street car....

He's obviously drunk, Chuck.

Viper killer, eh? We all have dreams, but we try to at least make them a possible reality. Stick around, pay attention, ask some questions, and these guys can help you make a Cobra killer (or contender, at any rate). Aiming high is good, but try not to BE high when you come up with your goals.

How much are you willing to spend on this, anyway? Without money, the only snake you'll be killing will be in your garden.

why go with aluminum pistons, get some titanium pistons, that are dished with a 7.5:1 compression ratio, the same company also makes lightened titanium rods, i believe they well a 2.7 stroker crank, which is forged aluminum, and the head adapter for the volvo head, if you buy the head adapter kit, it also gives you adapters for the intake and exhaust manifolds

i believe this company can be reached at inyourdreams.com

Well it doesn't matter how much money you have, you're not going to get a Cosworth head to fit on a 2.3 Lima block...

A rebuilt stock style suspension and wheels/tires is not going to make a Viper beater out of a TurboCoupe....

I suppose if you threw enough money at it you'd have a nice shiney expensive pile of parts.

But hey, what do I know about the Fox chassis or the Ford 2.3T? :wtf:

*shakes fist* "ull all see one day ill post all the shiznit ive done" *wanders off into corner muttering to himself* *looks back over shoulder* **shakes fist* "U'll see!!" *continues wandering and muttering*

Maybe you should spend that $10K on a couple years of higher education....
