wouldnt it be easier to use the v10?

A Vipers V10 is a 20,000 dollar engine.
A 426 Hemi Challenger would be right about 46,000 or so.
Here's the news snippet about the new 426

It's also the perfect opportunity for the automakers and their parts divisions to roll out some serious hardware, in preparation for next year's racing season. In 2010, Chrysler is pulling out all the stops – it's Motor Parts division (yes, that's what MOPAR really stands for), is releasing an all new 426 cubic inch Hemi V8, based on the Generation III series architecture.
This motor sports an aluminum block and heads, comes with a complete oil pan and intake manifold assembly and will retail for $13,675, when production begins later this month. Considering it cranks out a whopping 540-hp and 530 ft-lbs of torque, plus what original factory iron-block 426s go for, that's a considerable bargain.
