Ok, the first thing to know when considering swapping a frame is whether there's any point in doing so. Meaning the bike costs enough to be worth the expense, and that you can expect most components to fit on the new frame, and that you actually gain something in doing it.

Not being able to stand over the bike is a big problem. However I do not get what you mean by being able to stand over it after riding some... That shouldn't happen unless the suspension is packing up because the rebound damping is too high.

But, anyway, check that your fork will actually work. And you need the shock to go with the V10, because it's almost certainly not the same shock size or specification as the Viper. Check the seatpost diameter on both bikes. From there you can diligently check everything else, if you want, but most likely it will work.
