Unless you have access to a full fabrication shop to make adapters, mounts cooling systems, suspension modifications and exhaust plus the knowledge to program and integrate computer systems I wouldn’t even consider it.

Finally posting answers. I was looking at some hot rod ding mods for that vehicle and didn’t really find anything. But was some remote mention about sub framing the vehicle and going to rear wheel drive. Still sounds horrifically expensive.

Ha, love it. Your car is FWD, the Hellcat engine is for RWD vehicles. For the amount of cash you would have to outlay to fix it up and customize it, you can buy your own Charger.

Bonneville Ssei engine is already supercharged w a roots type, you will need to use ssei wiring and computer under hood and a think the Ssei fuel pump as well.
