Trucker_tim Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Would it be proper to put a dodge viper engine into a dodge l700 Coe Edited June 22, 2012 by Trucker_tim
Guest Johnny Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Would it be proper to put a dodge viper engine into a dodge l700 Coe Yes! Yes it would!
Rob Z Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Don't know about proper but, it sure would be KOOL!!!
Aaronw Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 If by proper you mean period correct well then no. As a modernized restoration why not. I've seen a blog following an L-700 restoration that is repowering the truck with a Cummins out of a Dodge pickup, so I see no reason a V10 is not a reasonable alternative. The L700 was available with a 470 cid diesel so I would think a V10 could be squeezed in there.
Trucker_tim Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 I thought about chopping the top and lowering it a bit do you guys think that would look dumb thanks for the input
Wagoneer81 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I thought about chopping the top and lowering it a bit do you guys think that would look dumb thanks for the input DO IT!!! Chop the top, lower that sucker into the weeds, power it with the V-10/T-56 combo, put low pro tires under it and run with it! Build it for you and the sky is the limit! you might be able to use the wheels and tires out of an old Ford F-350 kit... Are you planning on dragging a trailer with it? If you lower it, it may pair nicely with a Galaxy 38' gooseneck... Just throwing out ideas... Whatever you do, we'd definitely like to see pictures of it.
Bastardo Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Not, unless you put a huge supercharger on top of that son of a gun Go for it, dude!

BigBad Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 You might be starting a trend here... After that why not a Ford C-cab with a supercharged 5.4 from a Shelby GT500?
Trucker_tim Posted November 11, 2011 Author Posted November 11, 2011 Now I just need to find time to do it working on the ford dump truck and the ih transtar at the moment but I will keep this thread updated when I start it
Truck parts Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Go for it cut ,chop, lower,and over power it. Should be fun
Trucker_tim Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Okay bringing this one backup. I have started the dodge viper engine and I am working on the frame for the Coe. I will be trying to post some pictures of the cab to get some ideas on how to chop the top. That's all for now (null)
Harry P. Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Like Aaron said... "proper," no... cool... yes!
Badluck 13 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 As they sayin' in street roddin',which works for the model hobby even better "Dare To Be Different".....
Trucker_tim Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Okay to review here is what is happening. I am putting the motor from this model Into this one Here is what I have of the Motor so far I am also looking for tips on chopping the top on this cab Thanks Again Tim Kracht
hotrod59f100 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 That is cool . I wish I had another l700
Trucker_tim Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Have not had a lot of time to work on this one but I was able to put the frame together. (null) Edited January 30, 2012 by Trucker_tim
tooltas Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 use the chopped van body that u can get from resin caster jimmyflitstones, part #nb157 its web site is www.jimmyflintstonestudios.com its for the little red wagon kit but looks so much like ur truck cab.
ARTEMIS1759 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Not quite an L700 but this was a quick sketch of a lowered 61 White COE for drag with a V12 Detroit Diesel.
