  • The Mopar craze has hit the shop hard. Carrington is elbow deep into the Dodge Demon rebuild. And, well, we keep having to buy more Dodge Hellcats to supply it parts. When you but a Dodge Demon that needs one of everything for a rebuild. Well, it takes a lot of Dodge Hellcats to replace all those parts.
    This particular Dodge Hellcat was purchased on a very unique day for a great price. A great price that hinges on it actually running and driving. This Dodge Hellcat was purchased from insurance auction. You never know what you might get when buying a none running Dodge Hellcat from insurance auction. But, its time to find out!

    You are wrong my friend you can go from four-piston to 6-piston they both ride on the only difference is you need a new brake line the only time you need to change the hub is if you go the dual piston to a 4 or 6 then you have to change the hub knuckles etc but going from 4 to 6 it's a direct bolt on all you change the brake lines and I have that number for anybody needs it
