Default the v10

been searching for someone whom had done this all day but can't really find anything, i was wondering if there was a thread or individual whom had taken the time and effort of putting a v10 out of a second gen into a first gen body. i assume there must be some reasons for not doing it but i have a first gen that im trying to decide what to do with i call it my 20 year truck because i imagine thats how long it will take to get to where it is in my head lol. so again just looking for info on a v10 swap into a first gen.

depending on what v10 you go after depends on how much work you have to do. anything is possible with enough time, money and skill.

There was a fellow called "Captain Cameltoe" that did such a swap. Haven't heard anything from him in a long time.

alright what are the options as far as the v10 the viper and the truck model are the ones im aware of, are there others, what are the differences/advantages/disadvantage of either being put in an older truck.

interesting name suppose he had so much fun with his v10 he drove off into the sunset or had so much heck he drove it off a bridge?

He says it's a manual, but the column shifter is still there and he was steering with his right hand and holding the camera with his left hand. I can hear the shifts but I have to agree with wontacceptthis, it's kind of sketchy.
