The Chrysler 300 might not be a car that you associate with crazy power. It was designed and built as a full-size luxury car, and indeed even now it is still a solid car and quite popular with its owners. But what if you wanted to put the engine, say from a Dodge Charger Hellcat, into it? Well, this is what the guys at Khal_SRT on YouTube are doing, and this video shows them sorting out the new engine cradle for the car ahead of its swap.

Video Shows Off Other Bits Of The Demon Build

The video shows a few other bits off the build-off as well, namely the fuel modules and suspension modules. There was even talk of the fuel tank needs replacing. But the highlight is seeing that engine cradle. The front of the car has been quite extensively modified, a name with that cradle. The cradle is the sub-frame bolted to the frame or underbody of the vehicle, and as it sounds it supports the engine but can also support the transmission and suspension. Given the Chrysler 300 has a smaller V6 engine as standard, a new cradle was a must.

Earlier Video Shows The Cradle In Detail

An earlier video of the build on the channel shows Khal_SRT lifting the engine up and then dropping it into the cradle and mating them together as one unit. The shell of the Chrysler can then be seen, minus any engine-related gubbins. The guys then bring that engine unit and cradle together and prepare to mate it to the car. The transmission was also bolted onto the cradle and the finished unit looked like quite a neat fit.

A Much More Complete Front Starts To Emerge

The video linked into this piece above shows a much more complete-looking front-end, with the supercharger pump installed as well as the cooling system and the oil cooler as well. So the whole project is certainly coming together quite nicely. With a Demon Hellcat engine in the front of it, this luxury car is going to be incredibly powerful and it will be interesting to see what original elements, if any, have been kept over from the original Chrylser.
