For those of us with mere mortal horsepower in our old trucks, Mopar has come to the rescue. The new Mopar 6.2-liter supercharged Crate HEMI® Engine Kit — dubbed the “Hellcrate” —debuted at 2017 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show. The first-ever supercharged, 707-horsepower factory-backed crate engine kit “plugs and plays” with a 6.2-liter supercharged Crate HEMI Engine, delivering 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. Mopar says the ‘Hellcrate’ is intended for pre-1976 street and off-road vehicles. They couldn’t possibly mean a Jeep CJ-5, could they?
“Never before has a supercharged, factory-direct 707-horsepower crate engine kit been offered, and we are proud to be the first to deliver a solution enthusiasts have demanded,” said Pietro Gorlier, Head of Parts and Service (Mopar), FCA. “This ultimate powertrain option fits the needs of owners and fans who demand iconic performance.”
The kit includes a powertrain control module (PCM), power distribution center, engine wiring harness, chassis harness, accelerator pedal, ground jumper, oxygen sensors, charge air temperature sensors and fuel pump control module for the 6.2-liter supercharged Crate HEMI Engine. The PCM is unlocked and set to the factory 707- horsepower calibration. The Mopar “Hellcrate” HEMI Engine Kit is optimized for use with manual transmissions, such as the Tremec Magnum transmission kit.
An essential Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) Kit, which includes an alternator, power steering pump, belts, pulleys and more, is among additional engine accessory hardware components available to assist in installing the Mopar “Hellcrate” HEMI Engine Kit.
If you buy both the “Hellcrate” 6.2-liter supercharged Crate HEMI Engine assembly (MSRP $19,530 USD) and Crate HEMI Engine Kit (MSRP $2,195 USD), Mopar throws in a three year unlimited mileage warranty.
If 707 horsepower is still too feeble, talk to Livernois Motorsports about an upgrade, yikes!
