Will a 2009 Nitro motor bolt and plug(electronics) into a 2015 Viper? Are there any major changes?

engine same and electronics are different from what i can see on mine, arctic cat ecu's etc. if you dropped a nytro motor in, you would have to use ALL arctic cat electronics from a viper or retrofit nytro ecu and wiring right up to the hand controls. i'll check tommorrow wether the sensor plug ins on engine are same.

why you ask? potential project?

Thanks, more interested in like you say the 3 plug ins and motor mounts. Currently have a nitro with broken head shim. Also have a fresh spare 500 mile motor,just debating running the newer motor. However if the new motor will drop into a Viper I won't run it!
