Dodge is shaking up the engine world by releasing their new HurriCrate and Hellephant crate engines. These beasts can put out up to 1,100 horsepower, making them some of the most potent crate engines on the market.
The HurriCrate is a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six that produces 420 horsepower. The Hellephant comes in multiple versions, with the most powerful Hellephant engine HP rating reaching an incredible 1,100 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are based on Dodge's proven performance architecture, so you know they will run strong.
If you're wondering what is a Hellephant engine, it's Dodge's ultimate expression of V8 performance, combining the "Hell" from Hellcat with "elephant" - the nickname for the classic 426 HEMI. If you want to add some serious power to your ride, these engines represent the pinnacle of Dodge performance engineering.
