Dealership is going to be your best bet. They don't need to look at it as a 300, they will look at it as an incomplete RE, sell you the parts you need and program them to work (if you have a qualified and caring technician of course).
Welcome to the forum.

At least the sentence is running… on. ;)

Anyway, should be a great swap when the bugs are worked out. Welcome to the forum

Welcome!

...and yeah, that was a lil rugged to read but I've seen multiple swaps like that from SRT Autoworks here in AZ and they might be able to help...?

I don't think a dealership would help you at all.
I definitely think you need an experienced Tuner for Hemi's and a shop that also has experience in the Hellcat swapps. I think the PCM, TCM may need to be re programmed after the time sitting.

Welcome to the forum, I would say my first thought is looking at full swap harness - something like a hellephant retro harness...
Of course the question then, is how to integrate it into the 300 harness wiring and body...

I thought I've read on this very forum that a Hellcat swap is easy and can be done in an afternoon, using only a spatula and a hand mixer?

Look at the Roadkill 68 Charger - swapping in a Hellcat...
I looked at everything they had to swap to get it to work...

Perhaps he's trying out as a replacement for the Hickster ??

He’s Danm near famous now how would I get that kind of opportunity 😂 but I bet he would know the answer I feel like it’s cause I bought the new rf hub from the dealer and it was never programmed to the vin of the car
