I just blow up the engine to my new to me 1995 Dodge viper. I wanted to know if I can put a gen II engine in my gen I. I am pretty sure the Trans and engine mounts will work fine I am just concerned about the wiring. What do you guys think. I can get my hands on a low mileage gen II engine for a bargain, I just want to know if it will work before I sink over 6 Grand in a used engine.

I'm not an expert on the differences between the two generations of engines but how bad is the 95.

I.E. Did you just spin a bearing or did you blow a hole out the side. me personally, if the stock engine is rebuildable I'd go that route before spending that much on a used engine.

I'd listen to whatever Tom is PM'ing you about. Beyond that,
a Gen1 motor will be cheaper, easier to find, and give you the
least amount of headache installing. The bonus 15hp (for 96-98)
and/or 50hp can be found in upgrades.
