Dodge is now selling Hellcat crate motors…

The Hellcrate includes a powertrain control module, power distribution center, engine wiring harness, chassis harness, accelerator pedal, ground jumper, oxygen sensors, charge air temperature sensors, and fuel pump control module. The PCM comes with factory settings, giving the engine 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, but since it’s unlocked, tuners will be able to change that if they want. You can also order a Front End Accessory Drive kit that includes an alternator, power steering pump, belts, pulleys, and a few other things to make your engine swap go more smoothly.

The big question, though, is how much this will all cost. And, uh, it’s not cheap. The Hellcat engine will cost a whopping $19,530, and the kit will run you another $2,195. Thankfully, Dodge at least offers a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty if you buy the two together. So if your build blows up after a few months, replacing it won’t cost you another $21,725.

Pricey but at least you get a 3 year unlimited mileage warranty. Of course, that doesn't include a transmission.

Honda is now selling the Civic Type-R motor as well. Not quite as exciting, admittedly, but I'm sure the 300HP 2.0L will fit under more hoods.

$6500 including wiring harness and computer

Do want but holy crap on that price tag. :eek:

You could build a bullet-proof 426 and Whipple for that price. No warranty though.

Interesting to see some other manufacturers offer crate motors. Good to have some other choices. My guess is GM sells more crate motors than every other manufacturer combined.

Hellcrate?
Will it Miata?
If not then its natural home should be a Foxbody mustang.
Maybe a Buick Roadmaster if you need room for groceries and bodies.
