First Real Dyno Session with a 426 Hellephant Crate Engine

With lots of interesting things happening in the automotive community, some of us might have forgotten about the Hellephant offering by Mopar. The engine would truly be a first of its kind. Offering 1000 hp, the combo really falls in line with everything that Mopar has been about recently.

As the brand has been on fire, offering some of the most potent production cars ever and even a drag racing oriented production machine in the Dodge Demon, it was only natural that a big-power crate engine would come next. Oh yeah, the kicker on the whole thing was that it would come in with a price of $29,995. This includes the water pump, flywheel, oil pan for the front sump, supercharger and throttle body, coil packs, and fuel injector.

An extra $2,265 buys an engine kit, which Mopar claims “makes for a relatively simple plug-and-play by experienced installers.”

There aren’t too many other places where you’re going to find a 1000 hp engine with factory reliability. Throw in the fact that it’s under 30 grand and it’s not hard to see why they sold out in 48 hours.

When push comes to shove, though, we haven’t really seen one of these things hit the dyno yet, though. Heck, Mopar could’ve just been peddling fairy tales with that illustrious power figure.

This time, though, all of that is about to change. As the Demonology YouTube channel had the cameras rolling, they would capture what is believed to be the first-ever dyno session with a Hellephant powered machine.

By tuning in below, we get to catch up with what exactly an untamed beast like this is all about. The Hellephant has been teasing us for quite some time now. We can’t help but be excited that we’re finally getting the opportunity to see one hit the rollers to show the world what it has to offer.
