So, I have a Bender 835 Viper based motor. Was considering putting it in my black XTC.
I know the bulkhead is different between a SX and Viper. I think the Viper is cut lower for more room for pipes.
I have pipes for both readheads, and Vipers. I am seriously considering giving it a shot, using the viper motor, with readhead pipes so they will fit my chassis.
Would need to fabricate some sort of manifolds, to mount the pipes to the viper motor. Also, I think I read somewhere the power valves may be too high up for an SC style hood.
Anyone have any first hand knowledge doing this? Or have seen posts about it?

Never heard of that before.. not sure the sx pipes will breath enough for that 835.

^ Exactly what that smart guy above said! ^ I'm sure it can be done but it won't be able to move enough exhaust
