SRT SWAP: THE AT HOME OR SHOP GUIDE

SRT SWAP: THE AT HOME or SHOP GUIDE

By Taiujuan Burches

373 pages of drivetrain planning, parts guidance and step-by-step work sequences for your HEMI swap.

Thinking about putting Hellcat power into a V6 Charger? Converting a Dodge Magnum? Planning an SRT-inspired Challenger, Jeep or classic Mopar build?

Understand the complete project—from choosing and inspecting a donor to installing the drivetrain, connecting supporting systems and checking the finished vehicle.

FEATURED: WRECKED HELLCAT INTO A V6 CHARGER

A dedicated 58-page walkthrough breaks the project into 24 workcards with 384 numbered actions. Follow an illustrative 2016 RWD Charger conversion through:

• Inspecting a wrecked donor and identifying damaged or missing components.
• Inventorying the engine, transmission, rear driveline, controls and supporting parts.
• Testing the V6 recipient before teardown.
• Photographing, labeling and disconnecting hoses, wiring and mechanical connections.
• Removing and assessing the powertrain.
• Preparing the recipient and installing the accepted Hellcat package.
• Completing the differential, axles, hubs, driveshaft and brake systems.
• Installing fuel delivery, radiator/fans and separate supercharger charge cooling.
• Planning harness connections, PCM/TCM integration and module programming.
• Finishing A/C, accessories, steering and exhaust.
• Performing pre-start checks, first start, hot checks and controlled road evaluation.

Each workcard identifies parts, tools, prerequisites, numbered actions and acceptance checks.
