Don't push it. No.

 

See what kind of shape your cylinder bores are in the motor you want to turbo. If they are out of spec, you are going to have to punch 'em out a little bit, otherwise, you will have truly excessive blowby.

 

Hahaha never seen a couple argue on a forum before! Lol

 

This is nothing compared to our usual online banter... LOL

 

And they are probably sitting in the same room, on separate computers.....

 

I have a buddy that does a lot of viper work. Gonna contact him on Monday to see what he has laying around. It looks like lots of the viper engine parts are interchangeable and they came with forged pistons from 92-98 .

 

Same room, but on our phones. I couldn't tell ya the last time I did much on a computer haha.

 

Ordered up gen 1 viper pistons and rods. They are forged from the factory and will bump up the compression from 8.4:1 to 9.6:1. Not ideal for turbo setup, but I plan on keeping it under 10 psi.

Going to order up a gen 1 viper crank next week along with the timing chain components. They come with a double roller setup stock and look to be the same dimensions. I may try the viper cam shaft as well.

 

Will that stuff fit in a truck block??

 

The bore, stroke, and rod journal are all the same dimensions. The crank main journals are the same diameter. The crank front seals are the same (but they use a different oil pump setup, so some machining might be required to drive the trucks crank driven oil pump). I'm not sure on the cam shaft yet. I'll have a guy measure the journals for me if I can't find the info online.
