A year ago the Roadkill team told Dodge President Tim Kuniskis they wanted to be the first to swap a Hellcat V8 into a classic muscle car. Tim told them he never thought they would be able to do it due to the complex electrical system. The system included several computers that all talked to each other and if just one of those computers sensed something was wrong it wouldn’t work.<\/p>\n

Since Dodge became their title sponsor the Roadkill team had access to a Hellcat V8 from a 2015 SRT Charger development car that was going to be crushed. Somewhere a light went off to use this engine and put it into their famous General Mayhem 1968 Charger. If you don’t remember this was previously powered by a 440 ci V8 sourced from a motorhome. But swapping a carbed 440 is a lot different from a very advanced EFI supercharged V8.<\/p>\n

Roadkill turned to Diversified Creations<\/a> in Brighton, Michigan to figure out how to swap the Hellcat V8. Their solution was to swap the entire electrical system from the SRT Charger into the General Mayhem Charger. It only took three weeks for Diversified Creations to get General Mayhem to drive.<\/p>\n
