I have done six viper conversions and I can tell you I prefer the new Ford engine over the viper engines. Both will give you challenges to install in an engine compartment but I can tell you I believe the Shelby motor will be beter received than the viper engine and you need to consider the engine management system to run your turbo viper deal. It might get pricey... The V-10 has it own sound most people do not care for it. Good luck with whatever you decide. I have an extra shelby motor and two viper motors at my shop right now.

Since i can get a complete viper engine and t-56 for less then a gt-500 motor alone

nothing crazy power wise just around 700 rwhp maybee 10-12 pounds of boost.
