Chrysler this week at the SEMA auto show will exhibit a customized version of the Dodge Challenger Concept, which since January has served as a preview of the 2008 Dodge Challenger. The 392 HEMI Dodge Challenger Super Stock Concept commemorates the original 392 HEMI engine introduced in the new 1957 model year Chryslers and Imperials.
While most SEMA cars are modified versions of readily available models, this 392 HEMI previews what might be possible in the next few years. For now, the Challenger is just used as a showcase for the new crate motor. The engine itself will be offered immediately as a kit to performance enthusiasts from Mopar with as much as 540 horsepower and 490 lb.-ft of torque.
