In 2017 Ringbrothers built a 1969 Charger called “Defector” for Erland, host of the Silent D Motor Show. The car was powered by a 392 ci Gen 3 Hemi V8 making 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. Fast forward to 2020 and Erland wanted more power. So he shipped the Charger back to Ringbrothers so they could swap in a supercharged 426 ci Hellephant V8 crate motor. The new supercharged heart produces 1000 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque. The engine swap also required Ringbrothers to make a new hood.
