We’ve been asked a few times when we’re going to get our Project Windstorm back on the road. We finally made a decision to solicit some help from a friend to get the work done that we needed, and to get the swap rolling. But wait, there’s more!
Project Windstorm: It’s Time To FEAD Our Hellcat Redeye

Project Windstorm: Holley’s Mid-Sump Oil Pan for the Win
Some swap are easy, and some are a bit more tedious, but swapping a Hellcat into a ’65 Plymouth is not impossible. It just means paying attention to details, and fortunately, we have companies like Holley that provide the parts we need.
Project Windstorm: Fire in the Hole – Reliability from MSD

Project Windstorm: Big Things Coming From Small Parts
One area of a Hellcat Swap to a classic Mopar that needs attention is the bulky OE Intercooler Manifold. It’s big, and it’s ugly, and it needs to go. There are a couple of choices to replace it, and we called on our friends at Holley to help us with a solution.
Project Windstorm: Sorry, But We Have To Clean Our Cat
The Hellcat Redeye engine is home, and it’s time for some clean up to make it look like new. The before and after is a good showing of what some elbow grease and determination will do for you.
