So I want to buy a Hellephant to put in place of my 392, problem I trying to figure if it’s worth it. What all modifications would I more than likely have to make to the car to make this possible?

To do it right a lot of $$$$ Buy a Redeye.....my 2 cents

Yes, if you have to ask, you've never done that kind of work. Car is down for a month?, TONS of money for the little things, engine codes, etc..

That's the best advice you're going to get.

Not just the cost of that big dollar motor but have to upgrade all the drivetrain components behind it too. Will be a unique car if you have the means and desire though.

Big bucks for sure, youtuber Khal_SRT put one in his 300C, the engine alone was 38K.

A month? That kind of upgrade, you'd be lucky to see it in 6.

Given that the Hellephants are all sold, you'd have to pay 50 grand or so for the motor and another 50 grand for all the parts to make it work. You would literally have to junk and upgrade almost every part south of the flywheel to include all the suspension, rear end, wheels/tires, transmission, etc. etc. etc.

Then, after several months of deconstruction and reconstruction, plan on a month or two of chasing codes and gremlins. So, by the time you're done, including the price of the car, you'll end up with a 1,000hp 392 VIN'd car that cost you $140,000.

I'm not being snide on the timeline, the parts required, or the price to do it all. You will literally have to remake the entire car sans the doors and mirrors. Not to mention the fact that it's illegal to put a Hellephant in anything newer than a 1974 car. Imagine spending 140 grand on a car just to have the police confiscate it. I can't.

It would be more lucrative to sell your car with the crazy market highs around. Buy Redeye or SS. Add E85 and pulley, all for under 100k.

It would be easier to put it in a used Hellcat.
