Hellcat V8 Engine Swap and Nitrous for 1968 Dodge Charger: General Mayhem - Video - autoevolution
Ladies and gentlemen hooners, we’ve been waiting for this day ever since the SRT team introduced the Hellcat V8 - meet the world’s first Hellcat swap on a retro Dodge Charger. This is the story of a 1968 Dodge Charger that’s been adopted by abusive parents, namely the crew from the Youtube show Roadkill. After using the car as if they were filming the next installment of the Mad Max franchise, the guys decided to reinvent it and go for the swap. Still, the guys went ahead with the plan and got the ’15 bits and pieces from an SRT Charger development car that was heading for the crusher. This led to various complications, such as figuring out how to move from the ’15 Charger’s independent rear suspension to the solid setup of the 1968 Dodge. The retro machine was gifted with a custom center carrier bearing setup, comprised of a short section of the 2015 Charger driveshaft, a Ford F250 carrier bearing, as well as a custom shaft - the ’68 also received the ’15 ZF eight-speed automatic. In order for the Ford sacrilege to be limited, the guys installed a complete custom rear axle assembly, supplied by Moser Engineering. Source: www.autoevolution.com
