This crate motor makes 1,000 horsepower and 950 pound-feet of torque, and its name is a combination of the nickname for the old 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8 and, obviously, the Hellcat. This monster is a 426-cubic-inch version of the current third-generation Hemi V8 topped by a supercharger similar to what the Hellcat line packs.
Everything is cranked up to — or perhaps, past — 11. The engine block is made of aluminum and weighs 100 pounds less than the equivalent iron block. All of the internals are forged. The stroke and bore have been increased. The supercharger produces 15 pounds of boost and displaces 3 liters; more than the 2.7-liter blower on the Demon and the 2.4-liter blower on the Hellcat. And as big and powerful as it is, it will still rev to 7,000 rpm.
It's a thoroughly monstrous motor, but shockingly, it won't be that difficult to live with. For one thing, Mopar will offer a complete kit to get the engine up and running, including an engine computer, wiring harness and drive-by-wire throttle. It also runs on 93-octane pump gas. That's especially amazing considering the Demon engine "only" makes 840 horsepower, and that's on race gas with 100+ octane fuel. It also has us wondering what the Hellephant could make on racing fuel. The Mopar folks did say that there's room to add more power.
Pricing wasn't announced for the Hellephant engine. The Hellcat crate engine retails at $19,350 directly from Mopar, so it's safe to assume that the Hellephant will go for more. The installation kit with the computer and harness will be an extra charge of likely over $2,000, based on the Hellcat kit. The engine and the kit will be available in the first quarter of 2019.
lol the ram srt10 is probably the only pick up truck that ever got me to have genuine interest in a pick up truck
it also killed in midnight club 3
Yeah, I miss the days of F-150 Lightening and Dodge Ram 1500 SRT10's running around. Would love to see a revival of 'street' trucks, since the current trend is towards trucks and SUVs.
Haha I completely forgot about that. Yup SRT10 sure was in MC3. Beast!

lol yea like maybe 2 years ago i decided to fire up the ps2, and for the first time in awhile pop in midnight club 3 for a bit of reminiscing, and i was like WOW what was i thinking with some of these customizations i made haha. overall my tastes have remained largely unchanged but some things definitely needed to be "de-blinged" a bit from the pimp my ride era of when that game came out.
The folks at Fiat Chrysler's Mopar division unveiled its meanest road-going V8 ever at last year's SEMA show. It makes 1,000 horsepower, and it's called the Hellephant in honor of the second-generation Charger's 426 "Elephant" V8, and because it has a honking big supercharger on top like the modern Hellcat. What we didn't know was the price, but now order books are open, and it's priced at $29,995. That's about $10,000 more than the currently available Hellcat engine
And anyway, it was free. At the dealer I purchased from, they include it with all top trim Ram purchases. And before you say "then it wasn't free, I am sure you paid for it", no, I didn't. I got 16k off MSRP.
A) I don't live in the salt-belt. I have never had rust on any car I have owned.
B) Late-model (4th Generation+) Rams aren't anything like they were from 1990-2008. In 2009, everything changed. Do they still rust? I am sure they would and do, but any vehicle will rust in new york if you give it enough time and don't take care of it properly. the problem is that 99% of the motoring public doesn't take care of their vehicles they way that they should.
C) How about we get with modern times, eh? Come join us in this century
