Basically, the story started like so many others. āWe had an extra motor and a donor body we were trying to decide what to do with... and came up with putting them together,ā he said. The truckās owned by the shop as something of a development mule.
Jim told me a customer had called him asking about getting his own Hellcat Jeep custom made by True Performance a few weeks ago, but since it wasnāt something the shop had ever undertaken, Jim and his team wanted to experiment on their own time before selling the service.
The engine apparently went in fairly easily. The challenges, Jim explained, were ālots of little thingsā like relocating the battery, power steering pump, and other engine bay-mounted accessories.
The final product took about three weeks to finish, and runs a Paramount Performance version of the Jeepās NAG1 transmission which Jim said is rated to survive 1,000 horsepower. High-strength axles and a new differential were added to the build, but power goes through a stock transfer case which is apparently tough enough for the task.
