The motor was completed Tuesday, May 7th. The motor was picked up by the installer Wednesday, May 8th. I asked for an update last Wednesday, May 15th, and I was told "if all goes well, Monday or Tuesday". Well, I hadn't heard from him, so I asked when I should pick up the car. He said "not sure quite yet", which means he hasn't started it. I asked if it will at least be finished by the end of this week and he said he doesn't know (sounds too familiar since the machine shop wouldn't give me a deadline). So the waiting game continues...


Here is the list of all the mods I can think of that I've bought during the 6+ month downtime (motor failed November 30th):

• Port and polished heads
• Comp cam
• All necessary supporting mods: Manley oversized valves, springs, retainers, etc.
• BBK throttle body
  
  
• Belanger headers
  
  
• Custom exhaust (will be built when I get the car back)
• Custom crankcase tank (will be built when I get the car back)
• SCT Tuner (will be tuned by Todd at A&C Performance once the exhaust is fabbed)
  
  
• Eurotech CF front lip
  
  
• 19"/20" HRE 542R (matte black center/gloss black lip)
  
  
• Snakeskin Green calipers with black lettering
  
  
• Snakeskin Green fender emblems
  
  
• Snakeskin Green rear bumper emblems
  
  
• Snakeskin Green radio/shifter surround
  
  
• Lloyd's Ultimats with SSG Viper logo/lettering and piping
  
  
• Bluebatmobile overlays for taillight/reverse/side marker/3rd brake light
• White LEDs for all gauges/dome/trunk/license plate
• 6k headlights with matching fogs
• MGW short throw shifter with MGW knob
  
  
• K&N intake and KW V2 were installed just before the first motor failure, as well as diff/transmission fluids changed
• Woodhouse motor/transmission mounts and new clutch were installed during the last rebuild

Since it's been so long, this is what my car looked like before:


I can't wait to see how the car will look/feel/sound with all the mods installed...it's almost time to enjoy being a Viper owner!

How much did it cost to get your calipers powder coated, and are the letters a sticker or did they paint that for you as well?

98intrigue

Heck yeah! Unfortunately, the installer still hasn't given me an update which means he hasn't started it.
I paid just under $400 for the paint. They were at the powdercoater for 2 weeks, which who's have been over $400, but they wouldn't match their powder close enough to the paint. The lettering is vinyl and then he cleared over it.

Zdayz is always on the calendar. It just sucks the past 2 years haven't been possible. I'm going to try to make a surprise visit this week to drop off my wheels/calipers and check on the progress of the install.
