I've always been curious about how plausible is it to place a hellcat crate engine into a 2004 Saturn ion 3? This is my favorite car and it would be nice to have an awesome sleeper

 

I think you need to research on how to build a car from scratch, since that is what you will need to do. It requires a special skillset and lots of money to build a custom car. Good luck.

 

Unless you plan on tubing it to convert to rear wheel drive, and have insanely deep pockets, it wont happen.
I have seen an ls3 swapped Ion before, its actually somewhat local to me. But they used the impala configuration, since it came fwd.

 

I wouldn't mind spending 40 to 50k I'm a single 35yo with no kids... Thanks for the reply I guess

 

Didn't get the answer you wanted?
Get some manners.

 

Mm no not at all. I was sure my reply reflected that. Doesn't matter. I'll figure it out elsewhere. No big deal.

 

Try Allpar.com. It's a Mopar dedicated forum.

 

Thanks I'll give it a try.

 

I was a dick. I know better. My apologies to all parties involved in this thread. Crankiness level has been up lately.

 

Growing up with the internet I try not to take anything to heart anymore, no hard feelings
