I've driven past that car many times on my way to London. It's just outside Strathroy. I had no idea it was a V10. Funny enough, a buddy has been egging me on to buy a V10 that's currently on Marketplace to put in my car. It's from a Rsm too, but an SRT10.
The one in the original posters and mine are both Magnum V10’s

There was a 64-66 Imperial show car called "Tyrant" a few years back with a Viper V10. I don't know much about it.
3C's & a D?

"The things gotta be like, somewhat decent on fuel; right?" Ha! What an optimist! The paint/racing stripes and giant exhaust take it out of the "sleeper" class. You could however fall asleep in that luxurious interior. That V10 sure smokes alot!
What are you waiting for? Bonus if it comes with the original transmission!

its hard to want to mess with a car that runs so well. As cool as it would be to swap the 8.3, it's a lot of work I don't want to commit to at the moment.
Back when the V-10 Dodge Rams were still "used trucks", I thought (one of my many "mind projects" back then) that as it was allegedly off of the LA architecture, it MIGHT be pretty easy to bolt one into my 1980 Newport 360 2bbl car. The extra length might be compensated for with an electric fan, I suspected. BUT . . . that's as far as it got!
Last year, on the YouTube channel "I DO CARS", Eric tore down a used Viper V-10 core to see what caused it to fail. It was quite a bit different, internally, than I suspected. I would recommend watching that video for ANYBODY considering a V-10 swap! More changes in there than I suspected to make it "Viper worthy" (acceleration and road racing-capable/competitive)! What ever remaining dream cobwebs of having a V-10 R-car were completely obliterated (for real!).
NO matter the other things like a compatible fuel system and drivetrain issues!
As NEAT as that "Pumpkin Formal" Chrysler might be, something tells me I don't want to know the details of how the V-10 got to be where is now is. Just my gut suspicion . . . no more, no less. I am just glad it is where it is.
Enjoy!
