Crate-engine shopping usually means choosing between a fresh long-block and a high-mileage gamble. Every so often, though, something far more interesting turns up: a complete, factory-built supercharged powerplant pulled from one of the wildest muscle cars Detroit ever sold. That is exactly what is happening here, where a genuine 807-horsepower Hellcat Redeye "Jailbreak" V8 has been listed for sale on its own, ready to drop into whatever project is brave enough to take it on.
The engine comes out of a 2022 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak, a four-door that represented the absolute high-water mark of Stellantis' HEMI era. The donor car met an unfortunate end in a crash, but the heart of the machine survived intact and now shows roughly 19,000 miles. It is being offered out of Issaquah, Washington with the supercharger still bolted in place, along with the electronic throttle body, alternator, serpentine belt, water pump, ECM, and wiring harness.
How Dodge Got To 807 Horsepower
When the Jailbreak package arrived for the 2022 Charger Redeye Widebody, the number everyone fixated on was 807 — ten more horsepower than the standard Redeye's 797. Dodge never claimed any new hardware for that bump. The official line credited a revised powertrain calibration, which is a polite way of saying the engineers found a little more in the software on a platform that already had headroom built in.
That headroom traces back to 2015, when the original 707-horsepower Hellcat landed as the most powerful production muscle car ever offered. The name borrowed from the Grumman F6F Hellcat, the carrier fighter that dominated the Pacific air war. Seven years later, the same supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI bones were making 807 horsepower on pump gas — still under factory warranty.
Underneath, the 6.2 measures 376 cubic inches from a 4.09-inch bore and 3.58-inch stroke, running a deliberately low 9.5:1 compression ratio so it can live with serious boost. The cast-iron block, known inside the company as the BGE or "Big Gas Engine," uses thicker walls and a higher nickel content than the naturally aspirated 6.4. Inside sit four-bolt powder-metal main caps, a forged steel crank, forged powder-metal rods with diamond-coated wrist pins, and forged pistons cooled by oil squirters. The aluminum twin-spark hemi heads carry 2.14-inch intake and 1.65-inch exhaust valves, and Redeye-spec blocks wear red paint rather than the standard Hellcat's orange.
What Makes The Redeye Special
A base Hellcat breathes through a 2.4-liter twin-screw blower good for 11.6 psi. The Redeye steps up to the larger 2.7-liter unit lifted from the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon, pushing 14.5 psi. Redline climbs from 6,200 to 6,500 rpm, the fuel system gains a dual-stage pump, and a 92mm side-mounted throttle body feeds a bigger induction box. There is Demon-derived cooling tech too: the SRT Power Chiller reroutes air-conditioning refrigerant to drop charge-air temperatures before boost reaches the engine, while an After-Run Chiller keeps coolant moving after shutdown to fend off heat soak between passes.
The Jailbreak itself was sold mainly as a configurator unlock, letting buyers mix factory colors, trim, and badges that were otherwise locked to specific builds. With it, the Charger Redeye reached 807 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 707 lb-ft of torque. The Last Call edition closed things out for 2023, and after that Stellantis shut the door on the HEMI-powered four-door muscle car for good — which is a big part of why a loose Redeye engine like this one is worth a closer look.
The Engine On Offer
This specific supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI came out of a Jailbreak-spec Charger (VIN 2C3CDXL99NH155268). According to the listing, the donor car was declared a total loss in July 2023 with about 9,000 miles showing, then received a rebuilt title in January 2024. It stayed on the road in the rebuilt car until March 2026, when the engine was pulled at roughly 19,000 total miles. From the factory it was rated at 807 horsepower and 707 lb-ft, and it is being sold by the seller on behalf of the owner with no reserve.
For anyone building a restomod, an engine swap, or simply chasing a turnkey path to 800-plus horsepower, a complete factory Redeye unit with its supercharger and electronics attached is about as compelling as donor hardware gets. With the HEMI four-door era now officially history, these engines are only going to become harder to find.
