Hellcat motor in anything?

[Competition]

Has anyone heard of or put a Hellcat 6.2 Hemi into anything yet? I haven't seen much yet other than Roadkill's 1968 Charger in which they swapped literally everything from a Hellcat into the charger (engine, trans, fuel system, cooling system, steering column, cluster, console, etc) all things I don't have access to. I wonder if it's possible to swap the 6.2 in anything using just the engine harness and PCM? I don't know what all else it needs to properly run. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I read somewhere, that the *** Monkeys put one in a 67 or 68 Dart. Don't know the details though.

I've read a little about that one, but not much. To my understanding Diablosport helped in getting it to fire up. Even with the stock Chrysler PCM it still wouldn't fire due to other things being unplugged. Poked around on Diablo's website a bit and couldn't find anything regarding the Hellcat engine tuning. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow.

Looks like they used the engine and transmission as well as most of the electronics to get them running.

Seems that Diablosport was involved in the Gas Monkey effort:

I talked the owner of EFI Source and they run a Barracuda with a 6.2 Hemi in it with not many mods and it runs 9's

That isn't a Hellcat engine. But if you gave them a Hellcat and wanted it to run I bet they could get a harness made and a tune pretty dialed. They have VVT engines running now with MS3.

Yeah, worst case you just have to go aftermarket ECM. It is just an engine after all, so it shouldn't be any different than any other one. It might have extra goodies like VVT and cylinder shutoff (I don't think the Hellcats have this, but I don't know that I've ever looked it up either) that may or may not be able to be used effectively depending on computer choice, but sounds like that has come a long way from the early days of modern engine swapping.

Schumacher just made a mount kit for it.

That's another thing I was curious about...if motor mount swap kits are going to be the same as the gen 3 5.7/6.1 hemis.

That is a mighty fine '69 Barracuda right there!

Looks great!

Already mentioned by the OP, but for anyone curious to see the Roadkill build that hasn't already, see from 6:30 on:

The split driveshaft modification was the most interesting part of the build. Not sure why they went that route.

Because the LX cars are all IRS in the rear and do not use a slipyoke in the transmission and any solid axle rear suspension car is going to need one of those.
