Do you want to helicopter swap your Honda Accord or any other car just like this one right here? Well lucky for you today I'll be breaking down the process I went about to make the helicopter reality. The first thing you'll need is a Hellcat engine just like this one. And there's many ways you can go about getting one. The way I went about it was simply buying a wrecked Hellcat from auction because when you buy these crate engines or just engine and transmissions, that's all you get.
But that's not all you need. You need the radiator and the drivetrain and the axles and the rear diff and just all the other components that really make up the car because this Honda Accord stock, the radiator and the drivetrain and everything else would not hold up at all. so you definitely need everything else you know fully support the engine and transmission i'm sure you may be wondering well how much money do i need to complete this swap well first off just the parts alone you're probably looking around like 25 to 30k depending like you know exactly where you get it from and how lucky you get with the deals because at the time i was able to get a full wrecked hellcat for twenty thousand dollars but keep in mind this was back in 2022 when a whole different market whole different time so how cats are going for a little bit more expected because now they have announced that they're discontinuing the hemi so it makes it even more difficult to make a whole catch-up time that report happen or anything that you may want to swap now after you get all your parts to make your hellcat swap chevy malibu real thin these are the next steps so first if you have a shop to do for you that's definitely recommended but regardless of whoever's doing it this is how it actually goes down first you have to gut the entire car you're going to take everything out you're going to the seats the engine the transmission just strip your bare fucking bones pretty much and then of course you want to drop in the new engine transmission the parts but after you have everything put in now you have to wire it wiring will take a very long time and you want to make sure that everything's programmed correctly and even though i'm explaining it a little bit fast and it seems like a pretty easy process it's not at all it's going to take a lot of time it's going to take many months and you're gonna do a lot of tests don't suspect you have your hellcat swap chevy spark up and running until probably at the very minimum three to six months but it depends you know how quickly you want to work and you know how lucky you get with like the testing because let's say you go for a test drive to see if the radiator and like the cooling system works correctly and it works correctly first try then you don't have to fuck with anymore and it's going to save you a lot of time now this specific hellcat swap took a probably around i think it was a fewish months you know we got a little lucky on it didn't take as long as i thought it would but it did take a very long time it was very difficult to complete but the hellcat swap timeout cord aka hellcord is a real thing now and you can make any hellcat swap anything now with certain cars let's say the engine don't fit you may have to do a little bit custom work you know extend the frame or make a new frame and do shit like that but for this one don't ask how it may fit a magician can't reveal his secret To complete any Hellcat's ride build, you probably need to spend more than an actual Hellcat. I'm gonna estimate-Hello? I mean you could theoretically put a Hellcat engine in a smart car, but it definitely would require a lot of work.
It would be on the higher end of the estimate. You may even need a hush of raxus to fucking make that happen. But hey, anything is possible, so if you make that happen for real, let me know like i was saying probably 50 to 75k will be a rough estimate to make the whole build happen but on this specific one i did get pretty lucky i only spent i think 40 to 50k and if you have any questions regarding anything feel free to let me know in the comments down below if you want to see this hulk hats 5 pound that core in action there's a video on screen right now so click here and go watch it
