Not everyone at SEMA has an entire vehicle. Some companies are focusing instead on individual parts. For Mopar, they've announced their own crate engine akin to the Hellcat, but larger. Introducing the 1,000-horsepower Hellephant.

Mopar revealed the engine on Tuesday at SEMA in Las Vegas. The supercharged V-8 has 7.0 liters of displacement and a reported 1,000 horsepower and 950 pound-feet of torque, making it one of the most powerful engines on the market. Its name is inspired by the Hell in the Hellcat crate engine and the Elephant engine, a.k.a. Chrysler's 426-cubic inch V-8 Hemi.

With a plug-and-play design, the Hellephant is significantly more compatible than a standard Elephant engine. The kit comes with a powertrain control module, power distribution center, engine wiring harness, chassis harness, accelerator pedal, ground jumper, oxygen sensors, charge air temperature sensors, fuel pump control module, and cam bus interface device. There is also an optional front end accessory kit, which includes an alternator, power steering pump, and so on.



The Hellephant crate engine was premiered in a 1968 Dodge Charger. With a wide-body design adding two inches and an increased wheelbase, the vehicle, dubbed the Super Charger, has a number of non-engine based upgrades as well. The interior is coated in a satin black with the steering wheel replaced with that from a Dodge Viper.

Set to release early 2019, the Hellephant Crate engine will offer a rather potent option to modders. The question is: how much?
