I just blew the motor in my Trackhawk, and I'm wondering about a 1000 hp 426 (7 liter) Hellephant swap? What would I need to do to the whole AWD system? I know this is going to be VERY expensive -- but I'd like to follow this through.
Anyone want to help me, or has anyone else tried this?!
Should I just go to Hennessy? I would really love doing this myself (and a couple of real motorhead friends) if possible . . .
I would not go to Hennessy you will pay 7 times what its worth.
I would not buy the Motor from FCA either again you will over pay.
Build your own motor. A few guys here have 426s or 416s I don't recall exacts, but built. You will need axels for sure if you put drag tires. I would assume you'll end up needing to rebuild the trans and transfer case. But I wouldn't do either until they go.
If you do yourself it will not be "very" expensive" but that work is subjective.
I’m with Rocket, spend some time before you ship off your baby with a boatload of cash in hopes of going faster. Sometimes, you wind up spending way more when that motor blows.
Get in touch with AJ Berg he owns HemiTuner Performance out of NY he can help you, he’s a good guy I got my Demon supercharger from him and he’s installed Helephant engines into Challengers and I believe also into a TrackHaw, not sure though. He has access to the Helephant engines and other good stuff that us mere mortals can’t get.

If that happened to me, I would just buy a short block with forged internals to run higher boost and be safer than stock.
