Building The World's First MANUAL Dodge DEMON! | PT 3

I bought the WORST Dodge Demon on the planet to build into the ultimate American muscle car so OF COURSE it's getting a proper six speed manual transmission!

HELLCAT REDEYE DRIVETRAIN & DODGE DEMON PARTS GIVEAWAY DETAILS THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO!

In need of the perfect donor I bought a complete manual Dodge Challenger Hellcat, thoroughly tested it (did a burnout..) and yanked ALL of the parts we need for the swap!

I also picked up a BEAUTIFUL (and dirt cheap) Hellcat Redyee roller to complete the trifecta. At this point we should have everything we need to get this demon back on the road!

Or so I thought...

Looks like we may have to pick up a FOURTH Mopar donor, a widebody Challenger Scat Pack or Hellcat!

I would say to get the frame squared up, stripped, and ready for a base coat of paint so then you can start swapping parts for reassembly after its sprayed

I think it's awesome your saving that Demon.

I would put that drivetrain in my 2011 Challenger that currently has a 3.6. The car has 217, 000 miles and has seen it's share of pain. It is on it's second motor (hydrolocked the factory one) and it's been in a couple of fender benders, but it has been fixed every time. I think it would be a cool project for my son and I to undertake.

This guy is an absolute mad lad he must be protected at all costs

[ModFame]

Lee this is a massive undertaking, glad things seem to be going your way with the world's first Manual Demon.

Love how this build rebuild is well documented from a very passionate guy, hope this turns out awesome at the end! Nice job crazy how you guys bought 3 cars for that lol

This is such phenomenal content explaining the nitty gritty little details and differences between the two beast trims of Challenger. I own SRT 392 and it feels outright amazing, can't imagine how good it feels in hell cat and demon!!
And always drive responsibly and sensibly guys no matter how good the car feels, we all need our dear body parts intact and love ones to go back to

I just discovered your channel recently and really like the Smoked series you have. It's crazy how you can pull value out of the wrecks you bring in. I'm currently a senior in college and I've got a 2003 red TJ Wrangler that could definitely use an engine swap. I know its not quite built for speed but I think it would be a fun swap. I think this would fall under "No replacement for Displacement" and it would be fun to build a rig to explore some of the great outdoor areas around. Thanks for the amazing content and best of luck with the demon!

[bagellicker]

Despite everything, I still firmly believe that this is not a bad financial decision! A manual demon? Fuck yeah. I love watching you rebuild this and can't wait for the next one 💕

[justintamsberg]

I found you through Ricer Miata's channel and have fell in love with what you do. if I won the motor I would put it in my 1927 t-bucket project. I currently an restoring it and have been looking for a 392 engine to put in it just to be different but a 5.7 would do just fine. it only weighs 1200 pounds. That would be plenty of power.

Demon chassis is important to the build. It’s a numbered car. Editing was crazy good on this

[dylan]

It’s pretty incredible to see you turn something that looked impossible to fix and give a whole new life

[AladdinLS]

Just came across your channel with this build. Looking forward to see whats next. Also love the energy from you and your people at your workshop. Good vibes make everything much better!

Good luck man!

[jordanneely]

This is quickly becoming my favorite series. Keep the work up boss!!

[bonquiqui]

the heat probably ruined the temper of the spring. once the temper is gone, the spring can't bounce back to its original shape and will just bend and compress under the weight of the car.

Man i have been down this exact road. Bought a burt up truck. Gutted it bought a donor and started swapping. Sounds easy right? Nope. 1 year off, 1 trim level off? anything like that causes so many problems. Mine was from a harder to find vehicle than your hell cat believe it or not. So what I could find cost me a fortune. As a retired/disabled guy. This took me years of saving up to do this. Ultimately to have a electrical problem I could not solve, it's in the shop right now for about 2 weeks. Hopefully they can figure it out and I can afford it. Getting it built the way I wanted took every penny i had and then some. So i wish you luck bud. i'm sure you guy got this.

[dexmeetsdexter]

this is probably the greatest rebuild of all time so far. cant wait to see it fully rebuilt. Best of luck

[mattfisher]

I’m guessing the demon rear setup is softer for drag racing?

[thebrahamkid]

I would put that drive train in a 1976 Plymouth Volare Roadrunner!! I've been looking for engines recently, this one would be perfect!!

Great videos by the way! I can't wait to see the demon live again!!

[motomobb]

'i will buy any parts you have laying around' spoken like a true Mopar man.

[trynagta]

I like how much hope this guy has. I subscribed, Im not gonna touch those burned out or stripped cars when I start my business, but I respect the dedication this man has! Good luck and I hope to see the Demon beautifully reborn!!!
