there is no way I can afford to buy a hellcat so I’m looking to to pay around 10k on a older challenger and putting a hellcat engine in it. What older challenger (newer than 2013) can I do that with? And is there anything I need to know when doing the engine swap? I think it’s the cheapest way of doing it if I pay 12k for the challenger then around 15k for the engine. I would probably have 30k into it compared to 80k
What is your skill set? Have you taken in a project like this before? It is t just a motor.. it’s the entire drivetrain, not to mention the cost of a brake upgrade. Let alone a bunch of other things I can’t think of off the top of my head right now. Not trying to be a dick but really think about this. Like I said I don’t know your skill set and I don’t know if you have help. Your better off buying a real hellcat from copart if you’re looking to go that route.
