Hellcat Redeye Dodge Magnum Swap! - The Biggest Challenge of All

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

MOMMA WAGON GETTIN' POWAHHH. BTW Shout out to YT Channel: Junkyard Dave. Was a HUGE help.

[@iq6796]

You should try to facelift it to a charger hellcat front end, it will make it even cooler

[@Flooberjobby]

Why not an SRT8 drive train, so you could have AWD?

[@silverrain99205]

Where's the Chevy Sonic David? Stop duckin me.

[@lucasblanchard47]

I just looked up his Hellcat Magnum and OMG that thing is incredible!

[@ItsTheApeManWC]

This is giving me HOPE on my Magnum. I bought it with a haphazard 300c swap so to know so many things bolt literally right in is refreshing. I can't wait to see how yall conquer the wiring and how much original stuff you can connect to

[@nbrowser]

David asking if everyone was ok when the engine table collapsed, watching out for your friends in the shop is vital. Nice to see.

I love how Dodge actually partially sponsored this. This kinda crap is why I love the SRT guys. Guarantee they're watching this with popcorn.

[@Zankaroo]

Dodge has been a sponsor of the Roadkill show for years now and has sponsored in some way every Roadkill event from Ziptie Drags to Roadkill Nights.

Thanks much man.

I really like how you tell your team they're doing a great job. It keeps morale and excitement high. Cool project as well.

[@joshuakhaos4451]

Loving this build David. Cant wait to see it completed. Nice to see a Magnum getting some spotlight time, I cant think of the last time Ive seen one in the last 7 years.

[@justini2351]

This is gonna turn out to be a really cool build, super excited to see the end results

[@MTNorville]

I'm not surprised that all these parts can fit in. The Magnum, 300, and Charger are all built from the same platform. The Challenger being derived from the Charger, it all checks out. It also helps that they haven't changed much at all since 2006

[@boost_kingz]

Well said.

[@Wooley689]

The way that much newer rear end just popped right it, that was spectacular, I ain't kiddin.

Stock hellcat/scat pack charger exhaust is also a bolt on. Got it on my Msrt sounds great.

[@DutchStangs_Garage]

That’s gas cap opening, I know exactly what you meant, see all those cool cars on Instagram, but when seeing them in person (or even unedited close up shots) and seeing all kind of imperfections on the small details kills my respect for those build. If you do it, do it right! 👌🏼💪🏼

[@coreyrowe2052]

How did I not know this build was happening on your channel??? I've literally been asking for this build for the last 7 years!! The Magnum was one of my favorite cars from Chrysler!! I was sad when they got rid of it and always wanted a Hellcat version!!! Thanks for covering this build David👍👍👍

[@krismangila1594]

throtl over in San Diego is also in the Roadkill Nights competition; their entry is controversial because its a Viper R/T 10, and all those Viper fanboys are furious because swapping out the V10 for the Hellcat V8 is considered sacrilege...

[@BreakerBreaker1320]

I would love to see a focus on how you handle the factory gauge cluster. This gonna be so sick.

[@iandavis8755]

I feel the same...

[@jbnnm657]

I wish he would revisit the terminator one last time in tribute to the hellcats and other cars it inspired. Like maybe get a mystichrome terminator and talk about all the history behind the paint and more in depth stuff about competition it fueled. This magnum is insane

I love that feeling when you get all the boys together and just knock out a crap ton of work on a car build.

[@RantzCore]

David, I was sooo geeked when I saw everything started just bolting right in! Other than a table collapse I see that you guys will be more than able to get this Redeye Magnum sorted with minimal issues. Kudos to the team you have together assembling this beast! Best wishes moving forward and may the wind be at your backs! Peace!

[@krismangila1594]

Can't wait for for this Magnum to be done and go up against other Dodge rigs like throtl's Viper R/T 10.

[@jeast417]

I'm sure it's not in the budget but I would love to see the front end swapped for the newer look bc ive never liked the front of that generation

[@jadehegler6489]

theres a guy do another swap like this but using a modern charger then he added the wagon part to it. its pretty sick. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpDHaH1sa76MaLs

Been watching Grayson kill it on TikTok for a while now. Funny to see another Subaru guy playing with Mopar stuff. This is gonna turn out awesome!

[@robsorgdrager8477]

Wow amazazing it all bolts together almost like the chassis's are the exact same thing from them to now 😂🤣. I will say these chassis are wicked simple to work on.

[@valkyriesurvives5109]

Only easy to do big things. Little stuff like a hub assembly is super difficult without disassembling everything around it

[@robsorgdrager8477]

@@valkyriesurvives5109 🤔 front or rear? It takes me 20 min to do a front hub on one of these, less if it's rwd. Rear hubs , it's been a while but I can do both rears in under 1.5 hrs . The steering gear , we used to race to see who could r&r one the fastest 🤣😂 I think my last time was 15 min . I think the hardest thing to do on these is any under dash work. I've made a lot of paychecks on these chassis . The rwd ones always need strut rods, tie rods and ball joints ....always . The AWD ones use a one piece lower arm with better geometry , they are beefy too. Engines and trans drop out the bottom like a mustang or Camaro....there really isn't anything very difficult on these . Now you want difficult try pulling a brake booster out of 95 Lincoln Continental with a 3.8 ltr v6 , step one remove rear cylinder head or my way ...drop subframe while engine is supported and swing engine foreword far as possible.

[@RA1N3SZ]

Also when ya get around to the interior and ya don't like the tow tone 08-10 Chrysler 300 black interiors (door panels and plastics minus the dash) are a easy mod. Black cargo stuff can be found from Fenn's 300 parts out of the UK great guy to work with.

[@rgnuberoni4879]

I feel you I’m not very mechanically inclined. I like my cosmetic stuff

[@boost_kingz]

How do they not know that all of the lx platforms are identical and everything is a complete swap, even the dash board. We've been doing this for years now. I assumed these kind of swaps were common knowledge by this point. This is not the first time this swap has been done. Good job guys, keep plugging along!

That simplicity is making me think about a copy build. Didnt think it would be that easy with a sxt.

Good to see this kinda content on your channel. I know how hard swaps are. At least this one is on the easier side with the hot swappable subframes. That's just dope luck. Good luck with the rest of her. 🤙🏾

[@DrNo-dz2hd]

Quick suggestion, make it a widebody with a 2015+ front end with the bodykit from VicRez and possibly convert the rear bumper to fit the Magnum. And I actually quite like the Magnesium Pearl color on it. :)

[@Wooley689]

All of the build is cool to me, even the smallest details.

[@shepdog_alpha]

There is no reason to believe it wouldn’t bolt right in. The chassis went unchanged from 06 to 18. Even the body panels will swap over with very little modification.

[@MUSCLECREWDave]

Dodge literally been using the same platform for the last 20 years, from the chargers, magnums, 300’s and use the same parts and are interchangeable to a point. Even the interiors

[@dbjeff02]

You'll need to change shocks and springs out unless you have a plan for the factory magnet ride wiring. But yea everything will bolt in. Only thing custom will be wiring

Cleveland performance was the only company to date that’s manual swapped a magnum, and charger

[@camerons6028]

everyone who makes fun of Chrysler and saw that sub frame go in just went "WOW!" to be fair, I don't think that that platform has changed, ever. so moving forward lots of stuff "should" be bolt on or plug and play.
