Mopar Hellephant 426 Supercharged Crate HEMI Engine
The 426 HEMI, introduced in 1964, was nicknamed the "Elephant" for its size and power. The new Mopar Hellephant is a worthy offspring, and the first OEM crate engine to produce 1,000hp. It achieves this with large displacement and an improved supercharger with a high-efficiency rotor. An all-aluminum block keeps weight down, and the package also includes a water pump, flywheel, front sump oil pan, fuel injectors, and coil packs. When paired with the Hellephant-specific Engine Kit, it offers plug-and-play ease for veteran mechanics and is designed for installation on pre-1976 street and off-road vehicles. A showcase vehicle for the new engine, the 1968 Dodge "Super Charger" Concept, was shown at the 2018 SEMA show, but we suspect the Hellephant will make its way into all sorts of different vehicles in the coming weeks and months.
