lol. I don’t know about that. What is crazy is the 6 bolt center mains.

Guessing about 125 lb

I saw where they said that. I’m guessing it’s a typo. 125 would make sense. The cast iron Dart is 245

We can dream right? lol

The reason to go with the dart would be the improved oiling to the lifters. When I build an engine, I think I’m going to go with the dart

Where I saw it say the block weighed 25lbs also said it only supported 1500 hp, so definitely not right. Would hope their aluminum block is more capable than that

They said “over 1500”. That’s standard understated cya. Inside info is that it’s over 2500 without issues. I won’t be making over that so it’s good.

I just saw a Scoggin-Dickey video from a few months ago comparing Mopar aluminum to OEM BGE to Dart, and they said the Mopar block was 125, so I figured your Callies will be in that neighborhood

I want to see 3k go put through this thing 😉

beautiful, can’t wait to see it in the car. So is that technically 6 bolt mains?

The center mains are 6 bolts. The Hellephant engine was always a mystery when it came out in crate form. What was actually in the thing was never released and who was going to tear one apart to see? It’s certainly not just another cast block. The DragPak example is making over 1800 when freed from the NHRA FSS restrictions. And that’s with a supercharger that puts a huge load on the crank and block that isn’t there with turbos. The Hellephant is the same block in many respects (not all). Structurally it is and will be just as strong. Callies is a very capable manufacturer when it comes to stuff like this. The inside info we got from there is that 2500 is no problem. The crankshaft going in this one with be their top billet Ultra. I do not plan on chasing hp with this. We’ll see what the car will do at 2000. It’s going to be a lot lighter than before so mid to low 7’s should be easy. We’ll see.
