Here’s how to build the Hellcat-powered Dodge Magnum/Charger widebody wagon of your dreams

Dodge would undoubtedly offer a fire-breathing, Hellcat-powered variant of the Magnum if the model was still in production. It retired in 2008, and it’s not coming back anytime soon, so Las Vegas-based tuner Jaye Fab is taking the matter into its own hands. It’s developing a conversion kit that transforms an unsuspecting Magnum into a wide-bodied Charger wagon, and it plans to make it available to the public in the near future.

If the name Jaye Fab sounds familiar, it’s likely because it already made headlines in 2015 when it grafted the front end of a Charger onto a Magnum, gave the wagon a coat of can’t-miss-it red paint, and drove it to SEMA. Its latest project takes the concept of a modern-day Dodge wagon a step further with a full body kit that includes wide fender flares and side skirts, among other add-ons. It’s a work in progress, but we can already tell it’s going to turn more than a few heads when it’s finished.

We don’t know which engine the donor Magnum was powered by when it drove into Jaye Fab’s shop. What’s more interesting is the one it will leave with: a supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 from a Charger. The eight-cylinder develops 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque in its standard configuration, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it picks up a few additional horses before Jaye Fab lets it loose on the streets of Las Vegas.

The firm has done a stellar job at documenting the build on its Instagram account, and AutoEvolution learned it plans to make the kit available to Magnum owners who want a more modern-looking front end in the not-too-distant future. The mighty Hellcat V8 isn’t included, but Mopar sells crate engines in search for tires to roast.
