There’s good news for everyone who’s been prowling Copart for wrecked Dodge Hellcat Chargers and Challengers: Fiat Chrysler’s Mopar division just announced a new 6.2-liter supercharged crate engine kit called “Hellcrate.” Because every car deserves 707 horsepower.

Have you been yearning to put your project car’s antiquated chassis to the test by stuffing an enormous, overpowered motor under the hood? Of course you have! We’ve all been there.

Well, you’ll be happy to know that Mopar, Fiat Chrysler’s parts division, is at the Specialty Equipment Market Association in Las Vegas getting ready to show off its $19,530 6.2-liter supercharged crate Hemi engine, as well as the new $2,195 Hellcrate engine kit with which that motor “plugs and plays.” Mopar describes the contents of the kit in its press release, saying:

The kit includes a powertrain control module (PCM), power distribution center, engine wiring harness, chassis harness, accelerator pedal, ground jumper, oxygen sensors, charge air temperature sensors and fuel pump control module for the 6.2-liter supercharged Crate HEMI Engine. The PCM is unlocked and set to the factory 707- horsepower calibration.

Mopar says its engineers optimized the Hellcrate Hemi Engine Kit for use with manual transmissions, and that the engine also requires a Front End Accessory Drive Kit, which includes things like a power steering pump, belts, an alternator, pulleys and more. The brand doesn’t mention pricing on that FEAD kit.

Mopar says the Hellcrate kit is “the first-ever supercharged, 707-horsepower factory-backed crate engine kit,” and head of Mopar Pietro Gorlier says something similar:

Never before has a supercharged, factory-direct 707-horsepower crate engine kit been offered, and we are proud to be the first to deliver a solution enthusiasts have demanded...

While “first-ever supercharged, 707-horsepower factory-backed crate engine kit” seems like an awfully specific thing to brag about being first to, and the price tag isn’t exactly cheap, it’s hard not to find a 700+ horsepower crate engine with a three-year/unlimited mileage warranty at least somewhat awesome.

I’d love to throw one in my Grand Wagoneer. It think it would fit.

Was it dodge that was offering the unlimited warranty? I need a dadmobile and the new Durango is the coolest looking thing in that range on the streets. Would like to know how they hold up over time and what the warranty covers

where you located? can find some solid deals in Detroit for used ones, many are from leases
 
I’m tired of even seeing scats n cats man. At least 15-20 a day (I drive for a living). It’s the “cool dude” car in the area so everybody who social media popular drive em, make n female.
 
Idk about 50k but if y’all wanna talk numbers I got a guy and Inquire and try your hardest. He works for the biggest volume dealership in the country by far, I mean he’s not pressed for business because he does numbers but who knows what he can do. Lease wise, he does what’s needed to get the best deal by far and beats anyone by a good amount

Feel like that dealership mainly cares about them lease numbers since that’s the popular thing these days. I’m not a salesman so idk what they make off what I just know lease is what they care about since that’s whats mainly brining the customers in

Scats u can find deals anywhere, these lots got 10+ sitting at all times. Idk I never looked at a cat myself but with all the people around me I know copping em, I believe that price is still a thing cuz these dudes bread ain’t super long like that. Dude at the gas station by my crib got a srt rango and say he got it for 53k.
