Before the Hellcat was spawned, the Dodge Viper’s 8.3-liter V-10 was the top Mopar motor. Someone decided to swap one of those engines into a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, and the result is now up for auction via Hemmings<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note that this is the original Wrangler Unlimited. So instead of four doors, like the current version<\/a>, it has two doors and a 10-inch wheelbase stretch. That extra length was necessary to accommodate the Viper V-10, according to the seller.<\/p>\n

The engine itself was named from a Dodge Ram SRT10 pickup truck. It had 33,000 miles at the time of installation, and the installation job was done professionally, according to the seller.<\/p>\n

The V-10 makes an estimated 500 horsepower, which is channeled to all four wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission, Currie 9-inch Ford front axle, and a Currie Iron Jack 3 Dana 60 rear axle.<\/p>\n

The exterior doesn’t provide many hints about what’s under the hood, but the Wrangler has an 8-inch lift, Warn skid plates, and rock sliders. A new steering shaft and brakes were installed as part of the conversion, per the listing. The Wrangler rolls on Pro Comp wheels with Mickey Thompson Baja TZ tires.<\/p>\n

The seller claims to have spent $40,000 on upgrades, but the high bid for the Viper-powered Wrangler was just $15,505 at the time of publication. It’s hard to judge the quality of this build from an online auction listing, but it does look like a bargain compared to a new 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392<\/a>, which starts at $74,995 and gets a 470-hp 6.4-liter V-8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
