Mopar, and specifically their engines for Dodge’s performance cars, are legendary for bringing powerful performance to lovers of American muscle. One of Dodge’s most renowned cars with such an engine is the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye. Well known by enthusiasts for its speed and power, it features one of Mopar’s signature engines, putting out 807 horsepower. When the Hellcat was released, it was lauded for unprecedented power in a mainstream muscle car, putting out 707 horsepower. This model is even more powerful, beating that by a full 100 horsepower.
Now, Mopar is releasing this engine as an out of box crate engine, available to consumers who enjoy building and customizing sports cars. The 6.2 L Supercharged HEMI V8 engine is designed to outfit pre-1976 road and off-road vehicles. By offering this piece of machinery to the public, Mopar is allowing enthusiasts to have all the power of the world’s fastest muscle car, but in a customizable package built for any vintage car. The engine boasts powerful credentials, with a 6500 rpm redline, a 2.7 liter supercharger, and a 14.5 psi boost.
In addition to the engine itself, Mopar has also released parts to best fit consumers’ needs. Flywheel and crankshaft additions will allow builders to accommodate a manual transmission, and an installable Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) kit is available as well.
Muscle car lovers everywhere can enjoy the ability to customize their favorite vintage sports cars with modern Hellcat power. Additionally, with the rigorous testing and factory warranties, these buyers can feel comfortable knowing their engines are as solid as can be, and that they can stand up to modification. All of this comes at the affordable price of $21,807. By pricing the engine significantly cheaper than the actual vehicle that contains this engine, owners can access legendary Mopar power at a reasonable price point, while also gaining versatility and the ability to custom-create new vehicles combining the best of old and new.
