Dodge has summoned another monster from the underworld.
The latest is a new 1,000 hp engine called the “Hellephant” that’s based on the brand’s Hellcat supercharged V8 and will be offered as a crate motor for custom car builders next year.
Its name is a tip of the hat to the original “Elephant” 426 Hemi V8 from the 1960s, and the new engine features an aluminum block with a bigger bore and stroke than the 376 cubic-inch Hellcat’s that brings it up to a historically appropriate 426 cubic-inches.
The engine mixes parts from the engines found in the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye and Demon with its own high-lift cam and forged pistons. A package that includes a power control module and all of the wiring and sensors needed for installation is offered with it, and a front end accessory drive kit is also available to make the process as easy as possible. This is assuming you have a pre-1976 car to put it in, as it’s not street legal in anything newer than that.

ROFL
Or if you’re really fast you can grab the gal and still make it to the car with both of you in it :)
That was an AWESOME movie!
You’d need a cage, reinforced frame & multiple clutches to lock down all that torque safely.
Get in the car, drive over and ask if she wants a ride?
I think that you are on to something.
I’ll wait for the 293 HP Pachyderm model...
The Hellcat crate engine is $19,350 so expect this Hellephant to be over $20k.

I learned to drive in a 1968 Volkswagen Camperwagon with a four speed and a 45hp engine.
My friend John and I took it out and found some gravel over cement. I put the back wheels on the gravel , floored it, and popped the clutch.
We putted away with nary a rock disturbed.

A hot babe AND a hot car.
A Twofer!!
And make sure the life insurance is paid up
...as well as seam welding LOTS of plate stiffeners to the chassis. You don’t want to turn your chassis into a pretzel with this thing.
I’m gonna leave that one alone :)
You think manual, drum brakes on all four would make for an exciting ride?
Aluminum and plastic everywhere on this engine. I do not think this engine will be very reliable for many people. If it were to overheat then it would be junk.
I raced a Lamborghini last week in my Ford Focus and from stop light to stop light, I beat him by two car lengths.......
Easy ...
I can get a Loan for the Car, Banks don’t Loan for Babes
