I can not ascertain for a fact that Mound Builders were Vikings, but here are some good resources to read and hopefully you can find what you are looking for:

1. Ancient mound building have been found in the Viking sagas
2. Israelites worshipped their deities in high places
3. Hopewell link with Mexico Jaguar worship. The Mound Builders predated the Hopewell indians arriving in 1000 BC or earlier.
4. The Mount Builder could be Israelites building mounds in Ohio
5. Vikings may descend from Israelite roots, lost 10 tribes
6. Truncated pyramids resembling Tikal pyramid (gateways to heaven) were found by Hopewell ruins. Four of them, the largest of them 188 feet by 132 feet at the base, and ten feet high.
7. The ten lost tribes of Israel may be the Hebrew migration to the Americas, the Viking birthright.
8. Migration could have continue from North America to South America
9. Around 550 AD, the Hopewells ceased to build their ceremonial centers.
Around 400 B.C., the Hopewell's Indians entered Adena territory
10. Earthen pyramids, eighty to one hundred feet high and covering acres of ground, appeared first in Alabama, Georgia, and the rest of the Gulf coast states, and spread as far west as Texas and as far north as Illinois.
11. But by the end of the sixteenth century the Temple Mound culture was in decay, and its important centers —Cahokia in Illinois, Etowah in Georgia, Spiro in Oklahoma, Moundville in Alabama, and others—were abandoned.
12. The Creek, Chickasaw, and Choctaw Indians who occupied the Southeast when the Europeans came were in all likelihood the unknowing descendants of the Temple Mound folk
