, the HurriCrate series of crate engines is based on the Hurricane inline-six engine. Offered in two guises , the Cat 1 engine makes an estimated 420 hp and 468 lb-ft of torque.
The builders participating in this new challenge will likely prefer to go with the Cat 3 version of the HurriCrate engine. Thanks to twin Garrett turbochargers that can produce up to 26 psi of peak boost and oil-jet-cooled forged aluminum pistons, it makes 550 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque. Dodge, though, has also promised a third variant intended specifically for racing. The Cat X HurriCrate’s performance figures have not yet been announced, but it is expected to be unveiled in 2023 and make more than 1,000 hp , which would likely make it the basis for a great Grudge Match racer, too.
