Building The World's First MANUAL Dodge DEMON!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 янв 2023
- 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!

This guy is an absolute mad lad he must be protected at all costs
Hey nobody is stopping you from protecting your husband
@@3L5Ancho dafuq
@Jeff B protected from what. Ain't no body care enough to do anything. Stop with these stupid comments
Yes sir 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
I seen this comment before the video ain’t really think much but 4min 30sec I said the same thing 🤣🤣
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
He doesn’t want to paint it to show what he’s done
Agree. You guys need to get that chassis prepped and painted before you even think of doing anything else. You should have it over at the paint shop already.
Personally, I think if they just put a fresh coat of clear over it as is and keep the burnt look, that would look awesome
I love these channels but hate when they put the new/donor parts on the car before cleaning it up entirely. Hate working with a dirty workspace. I'd rather they completely strip it, clean it, sandblast it, prep it, then start putting the parts back on.
Yeah I don’t know why he’s not cleaning the frame and whole car before putting stuff in
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!
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
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.
You need a 09 and up hemi, I swapped a 2010 and it's a pain.
that sounds fucking legit
how in the hell did you hydro lock a challenger? I have a jeep with the 3.6l, they hyrdo lock easy, i have a snorkel haha
@@mails5054 It really surprised me too. The factory air cleaner box pulls from the bottom in the bumper area. Freak storm in Oklahoma and I was going to pick my wife up from work. The water that I went through was just about curb high, maybe a little higher. I know the door sills did not get wet and driving through that area in the dry based on curb height it wasn't very deep. I was going slow because I didn't want to push water into the intake. It still pulled water in and broke the rod on piston #1. I avoid any standing water with that car now. There were other vehicles driving through there no problem, which was why I went for it.
@Rift33SRT When I turned 40 my wife went and found it for me. There is a lot of sentimental value on it. The hellcat route would be fun for sure.
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 💕
I just wish he used the original demon engine
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.
Lee this is a massive undertaking, glad things seem to be going your way with the world's first Manual Demon.
Does that mean the 71 and 72 original demon 340 4 speeds don't count?
I'm gonna need some help from the mopar OG here shortly...
As a dodge guy watching this series makes me happy because your doing a near impossible task but I believe you can get it done
we'll get it done
This is the most insane thing I have ever seen I thought I went off the deep end lol keep it going can't wait to see the end result.
Love the progress you all are making on the Demon! Keep up the good work! Banana!! 🍌 😆
It’s pretty incredible to see you turn something that looked impossible to fix and give a whole new life
Rebuilt cars with that much damage are never quite right. Never.
@@matthewdavies2057most of them are done wrong. It’s extremely tedious
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!
😂😂😂😂😂
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
needed to hear that last bit, much love bro god bless you on your travels 🙏🏾
Love this whole build, I just found your channel and subscribed. I've got a 1971 Plymouth scamp I'd love to drop that Hemi in! Can't wait to see you finish this project
2007 rubicon on 44” tires. Always down for a road trip .. 4 wheel burn outs!
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.
OH MAN. That Engine, ok I need that. The truck I mentioned above... I would swap that redeye engine into it. It's a 2001 Ram 1500 4x4. I CAN do that swap plus would make great content for my channel.
Am rebuilding a 2014 shelby gt500
how disabled are you? You mean from years of work, like back/legs or something?
@@mails5054 Yeah degenerative disc disease. I'm not immobile but i can do things 4-5 hours a day, but the more i do the more drugs i have to take to lower the pain.
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!!
I absolutely LOVE the Mopar Hellcat and Demon...glad to see they're being saved instead of scrapped. I sure wish I could afford one!
Fam! your videos are wild af!!! defs subscribed, seeing you work way into the night, obviously weekends and any other spare time, to bring us content, massive respect to you man, just subscribed for life, loooove this content!!!!
This is quickly becoming my favorite series. Keep the work up boss!!
Demon chassis is important to the build. It’s a numbered car. Editing was crazy good on this
I agree on the Demon part! Glad you liked the editing! It was a pretty rough video to film and frankly I finished filming yesterday evening, edited until 6am and uploaded it. I didn’t get to give it NEARLY the attention I like to but I didn’t want to delay the video any further,. So I’m VERY glad it didn’t come off that way editing wise!
@@scraplifegarage 🔥 the pace of the video was good and I’m 30 mins in 🤣 and that Redeye engine tho 👀😂 I would put that into a 2003 Chrysler 300 like immediately.
The numbers are important on these cars
As I’m sick of all the LS swaps, I would put it in my ‘81 square body 3+3
Love your work!! Thanks
This channel is funny, uses OEM parts and tries not to get rid of things they don’t need. Love it. Subscribed.
i have a 2004 Mustang v6 which actually blew a while ago you guys give me a lot of inspiration for whats possible in the car world. thanks for making this series
Dude . Just wanted to say everything about your content is perfect the format the video length the quality the commentary it’s all perfect 👌
Man, love watching the videos of this build. Just came across the channel recently but I like it. Good stuff. A buddy of mine has a 1997 Chevy C/K1500 with a 4.3 V6 and a 4L60 that's on it's way out. That Hemi would be a pretty nice little upgrade considering he's looking for a V8 to put in it.
The Demon coming back from hell. 😀
Hey been watching you from the early days I really enjoy your channel. Much respect to you and your crew you deserve all good things that come your way. Your a good man and its nice to see.
youtube suggestions coming in clutch man looking forward to this build
I own a 1994 Wrangler that was burnt to the ground and we rebuilt that thing and its still going today but I know it would come alive with your motor and trans put in. That would be impressive thing to drive. Keep up the good work so we can see the Demon finished!
I cannot believe your getting this done! I respect the determination
this series just keeps getting better
This has been a fantastic build to watch. I will give you my answer on what I’d put the engine in (38 Pontiac). I am little far to come pick it up though lol, that and I have an Eagle that will be going in it. Just want to play along and I hope someone gets to puts it to good use!
man I love the channel!! its better with every video I see.
I wish I had this skill set. I'm here just trying to figure out how I can rebuild my old high school car from the 90s thinking it's a lost cause for me and you all doing this crazy stuff!
Absolutely amazing the work that you do on these cars! You have inspired me to start repairing wrecked cars and will always be at the top of my watchlist. Give me the shaft!
I love watching your videos, makes me want to follow in your footsteps! My dad has been trying to find a 5.7 Hemi power train or better to drop into a 1973 Roadrunner he’s been trying to build to look like a 71’ Cuda he had back in the 70s… we would be happy to come take it off your hands
I would put the drive train in a 2002 suburban thank you for the great content keep it up👍
Fell in love with these series. Discovered your channel just from the demon project.
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!!!
Respect, I would have never gotten involved, but you look like your set up for this kind of stuff. good job
I was pretty sketched out on the first video of this car, but you're making me a believer
this is probably the greatest rebuild of all time so far. cant wait to see it fully rebuilt. Best of luck
This will be amazing when its all finished
Definitely a win to see a rolling chassis👍
Great video excited to see where this goes, not sure where you’re located but If I would be able to get it I would put it in my 92 240sx s13 🤙🏼
Love the stuff you do
BRO, your optimism is INSANE, idk how yalls are gonna pull this off but im very excited to be on this journey and waiting to see the end result.
Easily my favorite series on this channel!!🙂
this series is fire excited to see how it turns out 🔥
Ha
Dawg I’m hooked on the demon series 😮💨
I love the fact that tho almost everyone who supported you said no and you still did it is incredible, my dream build is a new challenger body chassis with a 68 charger body, with 6.1L srt8 hemi swap, new interior with old body, with a blower
I recently discovered your channel and fell all over the burnt demon. Me and wife watched together in disbelief as you said you were going to rebuild and Ive waited for updates since and was excited to see you post this video just a few hours before I saw it. Now, Im going to have to make a statement the government wishes we would all ask for, "please, would you give me the shaft?" Weve been getting it for all our adult lives, this one I might enjoy making into garage art.
Love the video brother and it's awesome what your doing! If that engine runs id love to put it in my 2020 Dodge Challenger. I've owned it for 2 years and actually had the engine and trans pulled out as of yesterday. That hemi would make this Challenger next level. Thanks either way brother. And keep up the good content you make. 👍🏼
I love this build, so interesting.
Awesome channel!!!! I'm glad I stumbled apon it. I have a 1996 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a bad transmission and an engine on its last leg, it sure would be awesome to get that drivetrane and stuff er in there. Thanks for the consideration and the content of your videos.
love this project, also love this channel and your personality, I loved watching all of this, even the bloopers!
Thanks for the support! glad you're enjoying it!
I have a 1970 dodge charger project. This would go great in it.
Went way better than I expected since you opened the engine. And good to see PPE with that nastiness
Ur so funny I like ur video being funny makes it easier to watch a 30 minute video. I really enjoyed it keep up these great video.
The Dealership I used to work for had an old GLHS sitting in the used lot that the magnum engine would be perfect for
In all honesty I’d like to put this in my 2010 dodge charger se , only a v6 but haven’t been able to afford a v8 😁 love the channel and the attitude you all have , much support
Hey, I'd love the engine! I'm actually local (right across the bridge) and have bought some parts from y'all before. My plan would be to use the engine in my street buggy I'm building. I've got pictures of the frame and work I've already done on it and have the means to actually finish the project so it'd be going to a good home!
Alright, you guys got me. I am not even a car guy but YoutTube gave me your channel and you are fun to watch. You got a new subscriber.
Sick demon builds on their way. I have an old 91 e34 looking to put that baby in and rip it thru the city.
Insane Demon !! 😈😈
I HATE NISSAN JUKES!
i just bought a 1987 vette, and that would be epic to put in it. My engine and transmission were just both rebuilt, so If I got the Red Eye drivetrain, I would pass on the generosity by giving someone the vette drive train. It would be quite the project, but it would be sweet.
Is the engine etc. Still available by any chance ?? I have a 2013 Durango V6 I would love to put that in .. I just came across your channel & love it I have watched multiple videos already you guys are great love to see builds like this .. I would love to come stay a few days in your area & help you guys out learn a little if you ever need a free hand .. keep up the great videos 💯💪
This guys cool lol. Buys like 3-4 more cars to put together one car. We all think it’s absurd but he will probably make it all back and throw it in the haters face when he finishes. Buy up all these damaged demons so when somebody wrecks and needs a door, you’re the only one that’s got one! Ask big money!
I could have used that drive train for my 2001 dodge ram project. I would have needed the wiring harness with it.
I just blew the trans in my 2009 wrangler so I’ll try and put that thing in there 😂 it might be hell trying to get it to fit but ey more power baby
That hellcat engine what looks pretty cool in my 1977 4x4 camaro set on a dodge drive train
That’s going to be a nice fixer upper you guys are good at what you doing
Damn beautiful car so far can’t wait to see it done
Definitely would put that hemi engine in my 91 dodge ramcharger have all the Holley swap kit parts just need a engine lol
Love the videos man I got a 1979 Nissan 280zx that is right hand drive with 40k original kilometers that I would put the drivetrain into the distributor went out on it and all the places that could sell me them are out of stock for a couple years so I have been looking for a swap but I haven’t been able to find something decent for a good price. Anyway I love the videos and keep up the hard work can’t wait to see the demon together and destroying tires again
i need this dodge demon.. i love this car man
If ever your having some issues with your ride and you think it's a bust, watch this guy and it will give you a whole new perspective!...Bro is nailing it
Can't wait to see the times it can put down when it's finished compared to the auto version
This guy is living my dream. Since a young boy I always wanted to do this. Take broken and stock vehicles and build them from scratch. To know how to do this is a dream.
i’m pretty sure i went to a body shop called Paint Mongers (killer body shop) which was right next to this dudes shop at the time. So this is super dope to see i love it !
Hey man Ive got a 1980 Malibu classic the engine in it now dropped a valve a few months back I’ve been looking at doing a swap just like this
man if i had that 5.7 i’d drop it in my 2000 dodge 1500, c-notched and dropped super low but it has the 3L v6 in it🤧 definitely got the ways to pick it up too:)
Had to subscribe for this series ( don't worry, notifications are on, haha ) I also really really hate nissan jukes.
His blind optimism is amazing
I have a 1974 Plymouth Trail duster with the roster doors or half doors if you like, super straight body but the original old azz 360 LA drive train. she would so much like to have a newer late model one I am just looking into all the mods for the rest of the running gear. And getting a doner would help with this build. I bought this truck for my nephew for his senior year project but his mom would not allow it. Seeing your passion for what you do has shifted me into the next gear. lol thanks
We can see how much the Supra went in value. Best thing you love what you do! Feel like a kid at the candy store!
I would use the drivetrain for a 61 C10 I have, it was my grandfathers project, but unfortunately he passed before he ever got to finish his build, me and my father have been trying and find the perfect drivetrain to put in it, I feel this would be a great fit.
Im now invested next episode 🙏🏾 ❤
1995 Chevy s10 adventure truck that motor will push me to the edge of the woods👌🏼
I have a 1964 Austin Healy with a narrowed 9" ford with 456 gears that really needs this engine and transmission.. 😁
That drive train would be so nice to put in my 73 Duster project car 🤤
Looking forward to seeing it finished
Now that 5.7 drivetrain looks perfect to replace the non-running 225 3 speed on my 66 Valiant! Would be nice, but good luck to anyone here trying to grab it up!
I have a 2020 challenger sxt and a 18 r/t I like the 5.7 hemi I also have a 82 Buick lesabre coupe with original olds 307 was planning on doing a ls swap to it but I never seen a hemi swapped Buick might be a nice build especially if I add the hellcat blower to the 5.7 but that'll be another story
YESS ANOTHER INTERESTING BUILD VID

“The top hat, it’s not too jarring no more”😂
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.
I have a 1949 willys jeep pickup with the original 60-ish HP engine that I have been thinking about doing something with.
While your shops pretty far from my place in Ky, a one way U-haul back home with an engine in it would cost like a grand, and spending that is far less than it would otherwise cost haha.
'i will buy any parts you have laying around' spoken like a true Mopar man.
