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.

Yes it would :)
Accuracy in movies?
Very little.
Cinema Sins on YouTube is great channel for nitpickers like me.
I can understand the motor, but who wants Bruce Jenner as a chauffeur?
If it is registered in a street legal state...can it be driven in bankruptofornia?
Have to check it out.
Was watching a (bad) horror movie just the other day, an older one, where the doctor says “she’s in a coma. How can she have brain waves if she’s brain dead?”
Being in a coma is not the same as being brain dead.
Being the director of that movie meant you were brain dead :)
Baby Driver is a decent movie.
Being a producer required a sixth grade education. Having an uncle who owned the studio was a plus.
The Beverly Hillbillies.
It looked like it might be a good movie.
I’ve been on the fence.
I will watch it.
The car won’t remind you that you missed a 2nd to 3rd shift that happened two years ago.
LOL
Owning and working on are two very different things.
Brakes, as in Pads or Hydraulics ?
1,000 hp is not compatible with snowy or icy road surfaces.
She is so cute.
I am not sure what the problem with his brakes was. I know he sometimes enters it in car shows. The only one I attended, he won a blue ribbon.
While at that show I took several pictures of the engine. I was later looking at the photos and didn’t think it was anything special.
Might be offensive to a Hemi-head but the new Lincoln Continental is a damn fine ride - with some guts to go with it.
“Ya scene it ... ya heard it ... and your still asking questions”
“When do we go for a ride!!!!”
Lincoln has ALWAYS had power in its engines.
Send this sports car enthusiast a Lincoln Continental and see how fast I drive it around town.
I KNOW their engines go all the way up to close to or even AT 400 HP.
I think if you have 25,000 bucks to drop on an engine, you have the winter weather covered with another vehicle.
I haven’t upgraded to a Continental yet but that MK Z is one kickass ride in it’s own right.
