Basically what you have to do if buy a hellcat and transfer everything to your V6. People here on KZbin 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

[@lordstingray2382]

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.

[@readysetgo6183]

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 😉

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

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

[@SRTNOOK]

On god

[@ryanc2927]

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.

[@ryanc2927]

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.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@ryanc2927 Well of course the V6 trans would slip right away that’s why I said get a drivetrain out of a hellcat lol.

[@ERESMAMABICHO]

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

[@ryanc2927]

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 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.

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

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.

@@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

[@OccultOdysseyGamingGalaxies]

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?

Hell cat blower on a 5.7 sounds easier lol

[@elijahmontgomery4146]

Or on the scatpack, you'd be making more power with an even bigger displacement than the original hellcat.

[@brianlove8481]

​@@elijahmontgomery4146a hellcat supercharger on a 6.4 will blow that engine. The 5.7 is better for boost

[@33ordie]

got some good points

[@rayavila6676]

Alfa Romeo and Hell cat engine swap possible?

[@dannydanko4627]

Sounds like a car salesman....

[@josephmejia3756]

What if i have all the parts and just need the labor done how much will it be. (2019 charger r/t)

[@moparnation2235]

long list of parts, many not available and some some are custom made

[@BillyDaGoat1017]

What if I have a full car Can I just do all full transplant? Lol like literally just replace everything from the donor?

[@YungBlax500]

@moparnation you should do a S500 Benz with a Hellcat engine

[@terrellwilliams5723]

First question who put a v6 transmission on a v8 motor that’s wouldn’t make sense in any scenario

[@moparnation2235]

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

[@WhatupdoeTV313]

Khal_SRT put a hellcat engine and a demon engine in Chrysler 300s so anything is possible if you have the money

[@moparfam300c]

"Is it worth doing the swap?" Well how I see it, it all depends on what the vehicle is too, if you're talking about 392 or Hellcat Swapping a Dodge Charger or Challenger, in my opinion it's not worth it at all, because they already make Dodge Chargers and Challengers with those specific engines and trims from the factory, you may as well save your money and trade But if we're talking about Hellcat or 392 Swapping a Chrysler 300, or a Jeep Gladiator, or even in something older like a Dodge Magnum, yes, it's totally worth it! Because Chrysler themselves never offered those cars with those engines from their factory assembly plants, so it makes them very unique, and alot more special

[@pewpew-_-2157]

aa guy just said he swapped a 5.7 into his v6 for like 2k since he had leftovers from a wrecked rt

[@deliorendon9494]

What if you want to do a hellcat motor swap on a ram 1500?

[@heatlifer3640]

Just get the adapter for the supercharger and the supercharger. Set you back $10k-$12k but it’s cheaper than going this route.

[@BigHead_Da_Don]

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

[@moparnation2235]

cheaper to trade

[@mikesauvie4002]

Can you do an info video on putting a hellcat engine into a durango srt 392?

[@moparnation2235]

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

[@ScoopWinthorpe]

If you have a paid off V6, trading for a use V8 will most likely leave you with a balance less than an engine swap. I’m trading mine for a 5.7 then I’ll be happy lol.

[@visa8versa]

Got it! I have a 2015 se, I'm trading in the car. I was told it would cost me 7k for a LS conversion and 7k to drop a 392 in with transmission upgrade, rear end up grade and a freaking drive shaft. Yep trading her in. I dont have funds sitting around like that

[@hoonpatrol5994]

$7K for a full 392 driveline swap? In what world do you live in where that's a bad deal?

[@Jmelpegues]

So you're going to trade it in and pay more 7k is good for a swap. Nothing is different from a hellcat to a se just a different motor transmission drive train
