You knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time, and now it is here. Mopar has announced the fact that the company will now sell an engine awesomely called the “Hellcrate” which is the same 707hp 6.2L block Gen III hemi that has been powering Hellcats for years now. Why did it take them a little time to get this program setup? Volume! The are building way more Hellcats than they envisioned and because of that there was not really great supply to begin a crate engine program with. Now that the volume is established and the plug and play kit has been developed, you too can “Hellcat” your Mopar or other branded ride.
This is pretty awesome.
