This is where the hotrod community comes in. Instead of starting with a car thats worth $40,000, find an old muscle car for $2,000 - $3,000 and swap in all the hellcat stuff. Boom you are instantly cooler than the guy driving a factory hellcat
@@ChiTownRuler023 shit is fuckin ridiculous I’m trying to find one and you would think with the prices people are asking it would atleast come with an engine 🤣😅
I have an 2016 AWD sxt, kept all the badges and swapped with 6.2 when it blew up. costed more that I like and It drinks gas but I drove with smiles per gallon.
I swap my 2010 chager 3.5 L to a 5.7 L RT for about $2000 took everything from a wrecked rt including the front and rear sub frames, transmission, rear diff it was well worth it in my opinion
The average person can't do this. Most don't have skills or the tools. You can't even buy a wrecked RT car for $2000 unless you steal it. Then you better have some mad mechanical and electrical/programming skills. And a lot of time.
More now I've been seeing scatpacks for 50k hellcats are around 80 to 90k. He trying to sale a car it's people who swap motors heck khal_srt put a hellcat in a v6 300c
What people don’t tell you is yeah it cost almost 18k to swap to a hell cat motor but once you take out ur 392 and the trans you are able to sell that for about 7-8k$ so I’m reality it’s a 10k$ swap and that if you buy the hell cat motor new . I’m currently swapping mine with a 2021 used hell cat motor with 2k miles purchasing the motor along with the new ecu and heat exchanger for 10k$ Labor 1500$ Once my 392 motor and tranny is sold I’ll be looking at a total of 4-5k $ total in the swap
The transmission is nowhere near 7-8k resale - more like acouple thousand. You’re way off. Furthermore the hp70 transmission can take 7lbs boost using the proper bypass valves which aren’t even necessary on the v8. But on a v6 swap you’ll risk the torque conversion immediately to the transmission or differential. Something tells me you probably have a v6 and all these #s you’re configuring are fictional #s...
Basically what you have to do if buy a hellcat and transfer everything to your V6. People here on TH-cam have bought wrecked Hellcats with fully functional engines, trans and diff, and transferred all to their V6s (there’s even a guy who took it a step further and swap a manual trans from a challenger into a Charger). It’s not cheap, but in the long road is way cheaper than buying a hellcat
Sounds like a lot of the issues with the V6 swap wouldn’t be an issue if you got the engine and trans with harness from a hellcat. Then add a different rear end and drive shaft. The question is, is it cost efficient to do all of that lol
The transmission will slip immediately. The torque conversion is an issue. Also a v6 needs a bypass valve for the throttle he said. My friend has a jeep Srt w 60k miles and his front diff is bad somehow. Even so it’s meant to be a rear wheel drive car...a v6 is barely all wheel drive. Something tells me it wouldn’t be able to take that power even w the proper electronic harnesses etc etc. think about why the hellcat has so many coolant reservoirs as well. The heat from the supercharger mounted on top of the manifold is one.
I’m converting my 2020 Jeep srt to be pro charged right now to decrease the heat soak issues common w hellcats (found one for $3500 online auction). The piston material is different than a hellcats however. It’s possible if I add too much power that that is an issue let alone all these other potential problems mentioned in the video. I’m not too worried because I have a good connection w my shop owner, but when thinking of upgrading to a trackhawk/hellcat I would def consider this video...and I’m absolutely fortunate I didn’t drop at least another 30 k to buy one to some “stealership” asking another 30k above msrp - in lieu of what was said here.
@@ryanc2927 Well of course the V6 trans would slip right away that’s why I said get a drivetrain out of a hellcat lol. Whoever is trying to run a V6 trans behind a 6.2 is either insane, or doesn’t plan on giving it more than 1/4 throttle hah. But yeah, be careful with boost on your 392 and stick some money aside just in case lol
The only way I see it being practical and less cost effective if you have a V6 and buy a wrecked Hellcat and do a complete transfer from A to B by yourself all at once then sell the V6 drivetrain along with the wrecked car after that done enjoy 😉
That's why you buy a donor car with all the parts that your going to need. There's a guy in Dearborn Michigan that's done with a few times, and done 2 V6 300's and they've come out perfect. Strips both cars done to replace the harness. Charges $12k to do the swap. Not bad considering the work involved.
$10-15k for a new transmission and differential!!? I don't think so. If you got a v6 don't trade your car for a V8 just to swap a motor into it!! Just buy the hellcat motor trans combo with the harness and pcm. Find them all day long at auctions 15k and up

Man you guys gotta think, it’s not that easy. Go look on CoPart for a wrecked hellcat with a good engine trans, rear end and wiring harness. It’s gonna cost you over 25k. If you are a mechanic and have all the right tools I would say go ahead but if not you will be paying a ton in labor.
I got a 1988 cutlass supreme with the hellcat motor trans and rear end fuel pump and cooling system it was a lot of work I did it all on my own took my 2 months
Would it be better to install a Hellcat engine or rebuild the 6.4 top and bottom end? My opinion of the Hellcat engine is that it has weak internals wristpins and piston failure and in the end your output is far less than a supercharged 6.4 stoked to 426. I agree that is best to just get a Hellcat if you are happy with stock Horsepower but if you want to get into the 1200 HP range you need to go though the engine and trans anyway. Go Big or go home
Hell no thats a house getting a swap is way cheaper the repo auctions are full of scatpacks and hellcats 2k car payments or buy a v6 charger get wreaked charger hellcat from auction just for the motor transmission drive train suspension wires etc. Depending it's people who'll do everything for like 12k that's way cheaper then buying used because hellcats used ive looked they're people selling hellcats with over 50k miles for more then 60k
Yes, but you'd have to sacrifice AWD. The Hellcat's torque will shatter the GT AWD's transmission, differentials, and CV axles. Not to mention the fuel system isn't up to snuff either. With the amount of stuff you'd need to change over, you'd might as well purchase a salvage hellcat to use as a parts car.
@@hoonpatrol5994 what about a Dodge Charger I want buy a base charger as project car and one of the big reason is to swap in the hellcat engine but keep the sleeper look
Not to mention in order to get traction on the 706hp you need the OEM Widebody add on through Dodge Direct Connection which is another $2300 per SRT Rim, $4k Widebody kit, $1250 wide body parts painted and blended to your car, Widebody emblems $650, 305 Michelin Z0 Race tires $2800, new Tire Sensors per tire $165 x4, Widebody spoiler $1300 plus tax and labor equals about $17-20k . If you have any decal wrap it has to be removed $600 and car needs to be sanded, paint correction and buffed w/ceramic coating to protect the Widebody $2,000 + tax. That doesn’t include engine cleaning, any work interior etc. Once you start doing all this your car will look very nice on exterior but your interior will be not so good so u will instantly get the internals cleaned, shampooed, new rugs etc that’s about $1,000. I got all new red alcatara seats front and back with the hellcat on it as my car had a weird smell when I bought it, people don’t be clean before they get in they car and it gets in the alcatara seats and shampoo doesn’t work passed 2 weeks it comes back so I got it replaced $7,000. I got Demon steering wheel $1300, new gas pedals being the originals were worn out bad from dirt and previous owner $800. New SRT rugs $580. Out the door I paid over $33,000 to get my car to a place it needed to be, that’s not including your R/T to Hellcat, simply add $30-40k to that smh. That’s like brand new slim body. U still need to pay the $$17k-20k to convert to Widebody through dodge direct connection regardless. Then add on Exhuast and mods. It’s expensive no matter which way you cut it.
Thank you again for your time and I appreciate everything your doing truly greatful inspired and blessed everyday for the great the good the bad and the ugly💯👆🏋🙏💪💎
Unfortunately there's a TH-camr that is swapping Hellcat internals into v6s fourtane Grande so it is a point of being greedy because this guy is just killing it making his channel bigger than ever buying junk hellcats and transplanting their internals into 300
Besides a guy on here just did a older model v6 swap to a 5.7 then to a hellcat and apparently it was pretty easy for him I have yet heard how much in total for everything
It's easy to do especially with a salvage hellcat and a bit of wrenching experience , the magnum,charger,challenger,300c are all the same car and the jeep is a durango underneath thats how dodge has saved money for years they are like legos for the most part , the parts are literally bolt in across the entire line with very few exceptions on a few brackets and ground studs, no reason you can't take a for example magnum or a 2014 durango and make it a hellcat.
@@moparnation2235you pretty much spoke on swapping the motor. I have swapped 6.2’s into 3.6’s many times. You do a full donor car swap. The challengers body for mounting has not changed since 08 exceptions are the doors. Every engine and trans mounts in the same spot. It’s doable and as of now, the preferred way to go. Used 6.2 engine and trans is around $12k, front and rear suspension with driveshaft is around $1800-$2300…those are the two main parts. Heat exchanger is another $600-$800…other parts such as pedal and wiring is around another $1500…still much cheaper than the average hellcat today. And the 6.4L would be even easier
Awesome video! But I have a question, so I have a v6 charger AWD I was thinking to put a 6.4 engine in it I don’t care how much it will cost but will it work? I wanted a charger that is 6.4 and AWD because I live in Michigan and it snows alot here.
Don't. The 6.4 will grenade the V6 AWD's transmission, transfer case, and differentials. If you want a V8 and AWD look into getting the driveline from a Charger Pursuit AWD 5.7L Hemi. The downside is, that driveline is only a 5 speed as opposed to your 8 speed.
@@hoonpatrol5994 - wait. I have a 2010 AWD now and I wanna keep this body. This is exactly what I was told. My cuz said if you get to 250k miles on this engine great, but when you wanna swap it - has to be a AWD pursuit to make it work. Said that I can't do a 6.4. It'll still be a Hemi. Is this right?
@@hoonpatrol5994 - my man. Thank you for the confirmation!! I have no problem putting a 5.7 in my buggy, this is a good game plan. Wife just wants me to get a new Charger but this body style is classic and I'm getting it wrapped. Tried to get my hands on a 1969 joint but it went too high for my pockets.
@@shill1444 If you're putting a 5.7L Hemi in a V6 car, remember to grab the fuel pump that goes in the gas tank from the Hemi as well. It's necessary. Also grab yourself the entire wiring harness from the Hemi car. The best option is to buy a totalled parts car on auction and take what you need.
What’s the point of even getting a Hellcat now these days are getting spank on drag strip’s by Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Camaro ZL1 and Corvette Stingray Z51 C8! Dodge needs to step up there game and make the Challenger lighter and smaller or introduce the Barracuda which is the same size and weight like the other cars I mentioned.
No he is false about the estimate conversion cost being around 22k give or take, that is false. We did the numbers because my brother actually went and did it and got a final estimate cost not including labor. The cost for parts were $32,790.44. Labor was by the hour and they quoted $7,890.00 Out the door they said a even $40k they will accept. Giving him a $1,000 discount. My brother got them to come down from $6,890.00 to $6,000. My brother thought it was still to high so my brother pulled the someone else would do the labor for $5,000 and if he would match it and he said absolutely NOT. He told my brother he is free to get the parts and they would tow the car to that shop for free, as long as he paid $32,790.00 he would have his guy tow it free and of course my brother was lying soo. Then, my brother took the parts list to another dealer and they returned 5 days later with a quote of $29,458.00. That's $3,000 savings right, well not so fast. They would charge $9,500.00 in labor and they would not budge at all. Not a single $1. So we tried to buy parts from store 2 and have store #1 do the install, they weren't having it. We went back to store #2 and asked why they parts were $3000 cheaper and they said they know people and made some calls to the owner of the shop and asked for some deals etc. However we quickly learned later in fact the parts cam out to be $32,012 and he took $3,000 off to appear like my brother was getting a deal but he added it to the labor cost so we was not getting a deal. So he went back to store #1 as they had more professional store front and master mechanics who build cars for a living vs store #2 who fixes cars. Store #1 was better. He did tell my brother once it's all installed there's a DO NOT do list. Literally said no long periods of driving, can't take it out of state on long drives, needs to rest after aggressive pulls etc. At the bottom of the list it said: WARNING ⚠️ WE will tune it to produce 50% of what a hellcats potential is until the owner gets upgraded differentials, drive shaft, transmission and all this other stiff that was like another $15k. My brother said I'll be out of like 55k that's at that point I could of just bought a real hellcat. He abandoned that project and 1 year later he financed himself a 2017 Srt Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
So basically, powertrain, ecu's, guts/harnesses, dash, and tuner to marry the ecu to car and put a custom basemap tailored to the specific performance of the motor (good/bad condition) of motor. Thoughts?
I'm buying a wrecked hellcat right now on copart then I'm just going to chop the body, part out whats left on ebay and then i'm sticking an old 70' roadrunner body i've got laying around over the chassis and powertrain.
anything can be done with enough money, but the question is, is it worth it?? and as a rule the answer is no, from a v8, its much simpler, with a v6 it is not easy and definitely not worth it

I would like to see a hellcat crate go into a bmw 6 f13 body. Now that would be impressive
So what you're saying is that I shouldn't try to put one in my Civic?
What about swapping a 6.4 into a v6?
It’s easier & less costly
A new 6.4 from mopar will run you 9k
All you need is the wire harness from the Hellcat
Would love to scatpack swap my 5.7 Magnum!
Not to mention in order to get traction on the 706hp you need the OEM Widebody add on through Dodge Direct Connection which is another $2300 per SRT Rim, $4k Widebody kit, $1250 wide body parts painted and blended to your car, Widebody emblems $650, 305 Michelin Z0 Race tires $2800, new Tire Sensors per tire $165 x4, Widebody spoiler $1300 plus tax and labor equals about $17-20k . If you have any decal wrap it has to be removed $600 and car needs to be sanded, paint correction and buffed w/ceramic coating to protect the Widebody $2,000 + tax. That doesn’t include engine cleaning, any work interior etc. Once you start doing all this your car will look very nice on exterior but your interior will be not so good so u will instantly get the internals cleaned, shampooed, new rugs etc that’s about $1,000. I got all new red alcatara seats front and back with the hellcat on it as my car had a weird smell when I bought it, people don’t be clean before they get in they car and it gets in the alcatara seats and shampoo doesn’t work passed 2 weeks it comes back so I got it replaced $7,000. I got Demon steering wheel $1300, new gas pedals being the originals were worn out bad from dirt and previous owner $800. New SRT rugs $580. Out the door I paid over $33,000 to get my car to a place it needed to be, that’s not including your R/T to Hellcat, simply add $30-40k to that smh. That’s like brand new slim body. U still need to pay the $$17k-20k to convert to Widebody through dodge direct connection regardless. Then add on Exhuast and mods. It’s expensive no matter which way you cut it.
Definitely don’t need the widebody for traction, just need some name brand tires and stop buying used tires not worth anything but going to takeovers.
@@JustAimBetteryeah that dude was just talking
What about a 5.7 to 6.4 can you do a video on that?
Thank you again for your time and I appreciate everything your doing truly greatful inspired and blessed everyday for the great the good the bad and the ugly💯👆🏋🙏💪💎
Unfortunately there's a TH-camr that is swapping Hellcat internals into v6s fourtane Grande so it is a point of being greedy because this guy is just killing it making his channel bigger than ever buying junk hellcats and transplanting their internals into 300
Quick Genuine Question: So can I put a Hellcat engine in my Grandma’s 03 Astro?
Yea
Guy on TH-cam does hellcat swaps on anything like cake his TH-cam is @khal_SRT he’s swapped v6 300 and did a 2012 charger RT into a hellcat
What about swapping 2015 challenger 5.7 hemi into a 2015 challenger v6? I was offered a 5.7 engine and transmission for $3k
Jay G I’m curious about this as well
Will work.
We’ve answered that...but what about a Charger RT engine in a Charger GT?
But I wonder if the fuel lines of a 392 the same as a hellcat?? 🤔
Hellcat fuel lines are bigger
Yeah I realized when I finally built my hellcat lol..
Thank You Steve keep making history just like the Dodge Brothers 👆🏋💞🙏🙌💯🏅
Besides a guy on here just did a older model v6 swap to a 5.7 then to a hellcat and apparently it was pretty easy for him I have yet heard how much in total for everything
Hello steve! I have a 6.4 chrysler 300 srt and was thinking of hellcat swapping. Where is your shop?
Newton NC
you will need to replace your hood, will not clear
Seen it before hope to see it on TH-cam soon
It's easy to do especially with a salvage hellcat and a bit of wrenching experience , the magnum,charger,challenger,300c are all the same car and the jeep is a durango underneath thats how dodge has saved money for years they are like legos for the most part , the parts are literally bolt in across the entire line with very few exceptions on a few brackets and ground studs, no reason you can't take a for example magnum or a 2014 durango and make it a hellcat.
I got a v6 challenger, you think I should rip supercharge it or try and save for a wb scat?
in the long run much cheaper to trade for what you really want
@@moparnation2235 what’s ur contact info? I’m looking to do a swap on my R/T 2015
@@moparnation2235you pretty much spoke on swapping the motor. I have swapped 6.2’s into 3.6’s many times. You do a full donor car swap. The challengers body for mounting has not changed since 08 exceptions are the doors. Every engine and trans mounts in the same spot. It’s doable and as of now, the preferred way to go. Used 6.2 engine and trans is around $12k, front and rear suspension with driveshaft is around $1800-$2300…those are the two main parts. Heat exchanger is another $600-$800…other parts such as pedal and wiring is around another $1500…still much cheaper than the average hellcat today. And the 6.4L would be even easier
This is for people who don't have experience. If you have experience do whatever you want with your build.
A wise man has spoken.
Hell cat blower on a 5.7 sounds easier lol
Or on the scatpack, you'd be making more power with an even bigger displacement than the original hellcat.
@@elijahmontgomery4146a hellcat supercharger on a 6.4 will blow that engine. The 5.7 is better for boost
Great video !!!
Great video
It’s all fun and games till y’all see me pull up in my hellcat swapped 2016 dart 😅
What about just adding the hellcat supercharger to a 6.4 392.
They have adapters now to get the 5.7 and 6.4 with the hellcat blower
Internernals ain’t strong enough to trust me I thought about that. To do a full forged motor is like 12-17 k with a stroker Better just doing a seap
Sounds like a car salesman....
Im still waiting on someone to do a hellcat blower on a 6.1, if someone gives me a good deal ill do it myself on mine
I believe there's an aftermarket adapter plate to bolt an OEM Hellcat supercharger onto a 6.1L, 6.4L, or 6.1L Hemi.
@@hoonpatrol5994 will not work on a 6.1, vvt versus non vvt
@@moparnation2235 Fair point.
How much for a 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8 6.1 to a hellcar 6.2?
Prolly 20k
Awesome video! But I have a question, so I have a v6 charger AWD I was thinking to put a 6.4 engine in it I don’t care how much it will cost but will it work? I wanted a charger that is 6.4 and AWD because I live in Michigan and it snows alot here.
Don't. The 6.4 will grenade the V6 AWD's transmission, transfer case, and differentials. If you want a V8 and AWD look into getting the driveline from a Charger Pursuit AWD 5.7L Hemi. The downside is, that driveline is only a 5 speed as opposed to your 8 speed.
@@hoonpatrol5994 - wait. I have a 2010 AWD now and I wanna keep this body. This is exactly what I was told. My cuz said if you get to 250k miles on this engine great, but when you wanna swap it - has to be a AWD pursuit to make it work. Said that I can't do a 6.4. It'll still be a Hemi. Is this right?
@@shill1444 You can use the driveline from a 2011 - 2014 Charger R/T AWD too. The pursuit would probably be the cheapest option though.
@@hoonpatrol5994 - my man. Thank you for the confirmation!! I have no problem putting a 5.7 in my buggy, this is a good game plan. Wife just wants me to get a new Charger but this body style is classic and I'm getting it wrapped. Tried to get my hands on a 1969 joint but it went too high for my pockets.
@@shill1444 If you're putting a 5.7L Hemi in a V6 car, remember to grab the fuel pump that goes in the gas tank from the Hemi as well. It's necessary. Also grab yourself the entire wiring harness from the Hemi car. The best option is to buy a totalled parts car on auction and take what you need.
Even if it was from a totaled hellcat? Then swap everything?
What’s the point of even getting a Hellcat now these days are getting spank on drag strip’s by Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, Camaro ZL1 and Corvette Stingray Z51 C8! Dodge needs to step up there game and make the Challenger lighter and smaller or introduce the Barracuda which is the same size and weight like the other cars I mentioned.
I really really want this in my dodge magnum RT.
Now I'm seriously eyeing an upgrade for my project 2008 police pursuit charger. Hellcat police pursuit 2020? 🤔🤔
thats way more complicated, anything non vvt will be somewhat of a nightmare, 2011 and up is not that big of a deal
@@moparnation2235 Dang. That's sort of what my thoughts were, but I gave myself hope when I heard "5.7 or 6.4" haha.
@@enDo40k vvt versus non vvt, so 11 and newer
No he is false about the estimate conversion cost being around 22k give or take, that is false. We did the numbers because my brother actually went and did it and got a final estimate cost not including labor. The cost for parts were $32,790.44. Labor was by the hour and they quoted $7,890.00 Out the door they said a even $40k they will accept. Giving him a $1,000 discount. My brother got them to come down from $6,890.00 to $6,000. My brother thought it was still to high so my brother pulled the someone else would do the labor for $5,000 and if he would match it and he said absolutely NOT. He told my brother he is free to get the parts and they would tow the car to that shop for free, as long as he paid
$32,790.00 he would have his guy tow it free and of course my brother was lying soo. Then, my brother took the parts list to another dealer and they returned 5 days later with a quote of $29,458.00. That's $3,000 savings right, well not so fast. They would charge $9,500.00 in labor and they would not budge at all. Not a single $1. So we tried to buy parts from store 2 and have store #1 do the install, they weren't having it. We went back to store #2 and asked why they parts were $3000 cheaper and they said they know people and made some calls to the owner of the shop and asked for some deals etc. However we quickly learned later in fact the parts cam out to be $32,012 and he took $3,000 off to appear like my brother was getting a deal but he added it to the labor cost so we was not getting a deal. So he went back to store #1 as they had more professional store front and master mechanics who build cars for a living vs store #2 who fixes cars. Store #1 was better. He did tell my brother once it's all installed there's a DO NOT do list. Literally said no long periods of driving, can't take it out of state on long drives, needs to rest after aggressive pulls etc. At the bottom of the list it said:
WARNING ⚠️
WE will tune it to produce 50% of what a hellcats potential is until the owner gets upgraded differentials, drive shaft, transmission and all this other stiff that was like another $15k. My brother said I'll be out of like 55k that's at that point I could of just bought a real hellcat. He abandoned that project and 1 year later he financed himself a 2017 Srt Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
This guy isn't stealing your money. Get video 👍
If you wanna swap an engine into a v6, kist buy the sub mod you want. Itll cost more to swap everything needed than to buy a new car.
Is it worth swapping a 5.7 hemi in a 2016 ram 1500 3.6 pentastar?
I know someone who has done this, tuned it and drags it. Local kid to. Old school 2016 V6 Charger with Hellcat 2019 motor today
Get the motor trans and rear end and harness no problem
What about putting a 5.7 into a V6 3.5 charger se what I do have to change out in order to make the 5.7 fit
cheaper to trade
Be cheaper to insure a 5.7 swap than a hellcat on paper
What they don't know they don't know
Great video, appreciate it bud
So basically, powertrain, ecu's, guts/harnesses, dash, and tuner to marry the ecu to car and put a custom basemap tailored to the specific performance of the motor (good/bad condition) of motor. Thoughts?
What if you want to do a hellcat motor swap on a ram 1500?
It easy to just drop a hellcat supper charger on a 5.7 or 6.4 Nd cheaper way cheaper
I'm buying a wrecked hellcat right now on copart then I'm just going to chop the body, part out whats left on ebay and then i'm sticking an old 70' roadrunner body i've got laying around over the chassis and powertrain.
What's your info 👀 on ebay
What would it take to replace my 318 in my '72 Charger with a modern 5.7L or up Hemi? Is it doable?
Yes I believe Holley makes a retro kit that has everything you need to swap in a gen 3 hemi
@@scoggins_3458 just would like it to have more accessible power & reliability.
It's actually pretty easy, but the parts to do the swap are more than the engine costs.

Do you do 6.1 or 6.4 swaps? Don't need a hellcat because I won't be on the dragstrip that much or at all tbh
yes we can
anything can be done with enough money, but the question is, is it worth it?? and as a rule the answer is no, from a v8, its much simpler, with a v6 it is not easy and definitely not worth it
Want to swap in a hemi (not necessarily a hellcat) 6.1-6.4 gen three hemi and 8 speed auto into my 2001 dodge van~~~~ can’t use the blower,, don’t think there’s enough room under engine cover for it
Just get the adapter for the supercharger and the supercharger. Set you back $10k-$12k but it’s cheaper than going this route.
This man created a trx before they even came up with it lol
Every person has different financial problems and may take this route.
Got a 2015 SXT plus. Been toying with the idea of a V8 swap. Not hellcat, but a regular 5.7 Hemi. Found a whole 2014 donor car at a good deal. Not finding anything about the 8 spd transmission until 2015. Would the motor and trans bolt up together and work? Harness, pcm, and everything else is available on the donor car as well.
did you ever do the swap?
@joshuaochoa9839 no, a dog ran in front of it and insurance totaled it. We ended up moving up to a 19 Scat Pack.
What if i have all the parts and just need the labor done how much will it be. (2019 charger r/t)
long list of parts, many not available and some some are custom made
What if I have a full car
Can I just do all full transplant? Lol like literally just replace everything from the donor?
Can you do an info video on putting a hellcat engine into a durango srt 392?
really same process with a Durango, will need a boost controller a custom fuel system, etc, as long as you start with a v8 engine
What about swapping a hellcrate into a 74 Duster with slant 6? Add subframe connectors, disc brakes, aluminum radiator, 6 speed manual transmission and a 9 inch rearend?
That should work. The Hellcrate was designed to function as a standalone engine, so as long as you plug in the wiring harness, you'll be good.
I have a 2019 dodge challenger and it's a V6. I own the car outright so if I were to trade in the car I would lose my money that I already put into it so could I swap it over to a hellcat engine. Can you do a parts list of what needed to make it possible.
can be done, much more work, and you will need to upgrade most of the car, cheaper to trade
@@moparnation2235 thank you I dont want to trade in the car so I'm just going to supercharge it.
