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

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.
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.
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
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
Super easy to just swap the engine harness if you have a V6. I just got done with a SRT 392 into a 2016 V6 and everything was plug and play. I did use the 392 rear subframe and front Brembos as well. I'm doing a 2018 R/T and swapping in the Hellcat 6.2 complete swap next. Already have 2 complete cars to make one Hellcat. Super easy and reminds me of my Honda days.
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
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

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

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
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 😉
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...
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 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.

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.
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
@@wiomarferreira6536 doing that now a wrecked 2016 Challenger Hellcat into a plum crazy 2018 Challenger R/T 5.7 with a bad engine. Swapping front and rear subframes and entire wiring harness and of course the engine and transmission. Takes about 24 hours to do. I just finished a 2016 V6 Challenger that I turned into a 2017 in SRT 392. Same thing was done with this one both subrames with Brembo brakes and the 6.4 engine and transmission. The chassis harness did not need to be replaced to go from 3.6 to 6.4 only the engine harness and they plugged together and work fine. I will be swapping the entire harness from front to back on the Hellcat project.
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
For me I feel like it’s worth it, I have a 50th anniversary challenger widebody. It would be all the more special to have the powerful hellcat motor in an already special car.
I guess I didn't have the clarity when viewing this video when you see the title( Putting a hellcat motor in a non hellcat car) I'm thinking Jeep Wrangler, Dodge ram or a vehicle from a different car manufacturer that meets the parameter specs. In that sense this video was a complete waste of 7 minutes and 15 seconds.
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
I have the 2015 V6 for my hwy warrior/daily. Just turned 200k and whenever this motor is done I’m a put a 12v Cummins in it. Gassers are too boring imo. I really enjoy doing diesel swaps.
I want to swap my 5.7 with an elephant 7.0 at some point so I’m trying to do my homework. From what I understand it’s a stroked 6.1 so the fitment should be the same I think. Any insight?
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?
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
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
@@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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
I have a 2010 Jeep Srt8. I just bought a complete hellcat motor with all the harnesses. It’s at a shop getting worked on right now. They quoted me $3,000 plus parts. What problems will they encounter?
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.
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

forged internals with a supercharger on 392 is a better option in my opinion. or just get a hellcat.
That's why you get the entire wiring harness from the hellcat as well.
Exactly this guy is talking like someone is going to just swap engines but leave the v6 trans and ecu
Would you be able to put a hellcat/scat pack engine in an AWD GT Challenger?
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
@@NOBODY-hj6qd You'd probably be best off starting with a retired police Charger. You won't have to swap nearly as much if you start with a Hemi car.
Finally an honest businessman.
What about swapping a 6.4 into a v6?
It’s easier & less costly
A new 6.4 from mopar will run you 9k
So what you're saying is that I shouldn't try to put one in my Civic?
You will save in car insurance!! Lol
Sell you 16k engine or 45k car🤨
Even if it was from a totaled hellcat? Then swap everything?
@@wiomarferreira6536 doing that now a wrecked 2016 Challenger Hellcat into a plum crazy 2018 Challenger R/T 5.7 with a bad engine. Swapping front and rear subframes and entire wiring harness and of course the engine and transmission. Takes about 24 hours to do. I just finished a 2016 V6 Challenger that I turned into a 2017 in SRT 392. Same thing was done with this one both subrames with Brembo brakes and the 6.4 engine and transmission. The chassis harness did not need to be replaced to go from 3.6 to 6.4 only the engine harness and they plugged together and work fine. I will be swapping the entire harness from front to back on the Hellcat project.
I agree if your still paying for a V8 it's better to trade and get a used hellcat all together, all around good advice thanks
Not if you want a hellcat in something other than a challenger or charger
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
For me I feel like it’s worth it, I have a 50th anniversary challenger widebody. It would be all the more special to have the powerful hellcat motor in an already special car.
checkout Dustin Williams Sema build.
This guy is giving good advice. I thought about buying a used R/T from 13 but I think I’ll save my money and get what I want instead
Just get a 2020 rt challenger , used under 5k miles you’ll get one for like 30k
Khal_SRT has done hellcat swaps into Chrysler 300 & now into changer
I guess I didn't have the clarity when viewing this video when you see the title( Putting a hellcat motor in a non hellcat car) I'm thinking Jeep Wrangler, Dodge ram or a vehicle from a different car manufacturer that meets the parameter specs. In that sense this video was a complete waste of 7 minutes and 15 seconds.
All you need is the wire harness from the Hellcat
8 speed will easily cost 4500, upgraded differential 3 to 5, axles 1500, driveshaft 1k, won’t take long to get over 10k
You forgot about the 376 CID Supercharged V8 which after a short search will already have the swap over $10,000
Would a 2010 dodge Se work for a hellcat swap?
@@alexchavez3244 just get a hemi and find a hellcat blower. They bolt on to the 5.7l, 6.1l, 6.4l
10k is better then 80k for a used charger or challenger hellcat that's most likely have been dogged out or brought from a auction and fixed back up.
Hesitation before saying the used Hellcat has "Never been abused" 🤣🤣
What about a 5.7 to 6.4 can you do a video on that?
It’s been done bro
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
There are a couple of guys on TH-cam that installed an actual Hellcat supercharger from Mopar on a 5.7 or a 6.4 Hemi.
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.
I have the 2015 V6 for my hwy warrior/daily. Just turned 200k and whenever this motor is done I’m a put a 12v Cummins in it. Gassers are too boring imo. I really enjoy doing diesel swaps.
We’ve answered that...but what about a Charger RT engine in a Charger GT?
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
I want to swap my 5.7 with an elephant 7.0 at some point so I’m trying to do my homework. From what I understand it’s a stroked 6.1 so the fitment should be the same I think. Any insight?
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?
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
Get the motor trans and rear end and harness no problem
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
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

Just now finding this video. Would it work with a 2012 Chevy Impala 👁👁
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..
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.
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.
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

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
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
This is for people who don't have experience. If you have experience do whatever you want with your build.
