Although a viper engine is not that big of a deal, a standard pushrod engine...I still woundlt do it myself. Ive rebult my share of engines, but this thing is just too high dollar. Too many details that can be missed just to save a 2-3K in labor. Id rather have the job spec'd out by a tuner who knows EXACTLY what is the best for my setup, have a machine shop do the work who KNOWS Viper V10 short blocks and cylinder heads, and have the tuner do the assembly. Its just money well spent.
