It's funny you mention the heater core, and having to take half the car apart. You're correct, entire dashboard has to go. I did a heater core in an 84 I believe. All the screws had a home when I was done though!
yeah, if you don't have factory AC, that heater core comes out the glovebox like a VCR tape. But my 1986 GT had none-working AC, so I had to move the dashboard out of the way. In winter up north. and it was my daily driver. so not only was it freezing temps, i only had one hour of daylight (old man wouldn't clear out the garage for me) to do the process. took a month and i snapped a few plastic tabs off the dash. finally got the dash far enough from the cowl on a weekend to sneak in the $20 part and avoid the $800 repair a mechanic would have done. you aren't kidding about leftover screws at the end of a project, however :)
everytime I watch one of these videos, I'm so sad that I live in Europe. I've tried so many things to get MT+, but never got it to work :(. Will you guys ever get to Europe? Pretty please, with sprinkles on top?
I'd have patiently waited for Hurricane six engines to start showing up in totaled vehicles at the scrapyard! Keep it an inline six and over 500 hp stock would make that Z fly like none before it has. I see the Hurricane 6 in race form as going to be able to put some shade on the Toyota JZ engine.
They originally bought the car without an engine in it. Then they swapped a 4.3 V6 from an S10 into it. Then they killed that, several times and thus did the Ford swap.
OEM engine was a L6. Then they swapped it to a Chevy 4.3L V6 from a S10. (And changed it several times as it kept failing). Then it got the Foxbody V8 as shown in this episode. Maybe do some research on the car, haha.
hey guys I was saying to myself like wht!!! lmao they didn't yup I had to see it and wht uk it fits and it was faster thn the slightly mod stang I like to say way to go 😂

What's your favorite Rotsun moment?
Free on RUclips
reposting old content isnt cool
When I could actually watch it...
BTW. I even have the Motortrend Channel yet for some reason that isn't good enough.
@@RUMADD69 Like Al Bundy, re-Living his glory days as a High School Football Player so He doesn't see himself as such a current Loser.
When this series was on RUclips
remember when david said roadkill would always be free on youtube? man the good ol days 🤦♂️
Ik I think we all miss roadkill
HAHAHAHAHA!!! They all need the money.
Pepperidge farms remembers
Quite possibly the greatest catfish of all time...🤠

Nothing to do but sit at my desk and watch Roadkill. As Finnegan says, "Best day at work EVER!"
We agree!
@Motortrend. We need to bring Roadkill back. Asap
Free episodes
@@sidween I swear they used to be 30 min episodes. I really wanna see what happened to the Gremiln, Jag, and the others
FINALLY ITS BEEN YEARS somebody at motor trend pulled their head outta their asses

The Rotsun definitely deserves proper engine mounts after that performance!
Honestly, it deserves a lot of upgrades.
Thats f**king epic, the Rotsun is one of the Roadkill signature vehicles! This thing proves that life starts at 40 ha ha ha
Favorite videos are of Freiburger working with Finnegan !!
Love all of them, but these two are an awesome team.
Had a 89 crown victoria stw and it too did the heater core stunt on me and other typical ford lectrical gremlins
At 4:20 in the video, that Jegs cherry picker looks like like it would have folded in half if it had a big block on the end of it.
PowerNation Droped a Datsun Video too, in the Same day?! Awesome!
Man I miss old Roadkill!
Ayyyeee The Rotsun Gets A New Heart!
It’s about time they put this episode BACK on RUclips. F motortrend
It's bot the full episode
Love the Rotsun!!
I take it the shirt you had on is the firing order for the hemi engine love you r shows and videos keep up the great work wolf 🐺 Lynn Massachusett
That's an old school episode right there lol. Good times
I still say you guys should have gone to Tom Nelson with that 4.3 v6.
Even with a few minimal parts, it could have been an untouchable powerhouse.
That'd be overkill for that rust bucket. And that thing vibrated like crazy too. Though it's engine note was pretty cool and unique.
Men drive V8s.
@@calvin99991 don’t get me wrong. I can get into a good v8 myself, but that v6 Tom did is no slouch.

@@dagutterboy73 Are you attempting to argue that 2 fewer cylinders is better? Or are you Tom?
@@eriklarson9137 not here to argue.
Just in time while I put a turbo on one of my Foxes 🇺🇸💪🏼
This episode is from 2017. 😂
It's yester-decade 💯
Who cares, it's on RUclips and free!
Quite sure it's significantly older than that.
Whats the point chest smacker 😂
Roadkill made MotorTrend for me.
That thing is hilarious and awesome!
a cross between Ruby and the Batrod lol
I love how in 80s, the 5.0 Ford V-8 only had 5 horses more than 3.0L SHO V-6.
Nice video.
that Ratsun(my interpretation of RK project from the term "ratrod") deff needs a stroker 347 ford windsor v8 with aluminum heads,intake manifold!!🥸🥸🍿🍿
Here come the "remember when it was free?" jabronies
In the dictionary next to the word "Roadkill", theres a picture of the Rotsun.
Awsome motortrend and HotWheels/~
Wish Motortrend would bring Garage Squad back! 😢
How did they make a blow through carb?
I can't believe that the rotsun can still hold any weight without crumbling to dust.!
Wish the rotson would come back
everytime I watch one of these videos, I'm so sad that I live in Europe. I've tried so many things to get MT+, but never got it to work :(. Will you guys ever get to Europe? Pretty please, with sprinkles on top?
Will not happen, because of EU laws "for your protection"
Are you guys making new episodes?
Well it’s aboot dang time😂
Nothing would ever go right with Freiburger and Finnegan.
OK why do I want a Finnegan friburger and dulcich to do a show. our version of top gear lol.
Good video
Nice one
need some hockey puck motor mounts lol....
1:45 You are so lucky you didn't cut through the brake and fuel lines right next to your wiz wheel.
Semantics....
Rotsun needs a comeback against another roadkill vehicle. Maybe the super Camaro? Or fbomb?
You should've put the turbo in the headlight if you could
Little time and little money.
I see the rotsun, I click.
those 302 internals are bullet proof .. the block different story 😂
I approve of this sort of nonsense. Best day ever.............again.
Yo man! I got the exact hot wheels of this car, just asking did hot wheels collab with u if so tell me!
It was in a Mustang working properly...why there is a problem to "figure out" water pump and damper?
How old is this?
my 302 needs a turbo

sell me either one of those fox bodys
Back in the eighties people would corvette Motor on datsun 280zs
How did that z car have a v6 in it?
They originally bought the car without an engine in it. Then they swapped a 4.3 V6 from an S10 into it. Then they killed that, several times and thus did the Ford swap.
The v6 definitely sounded cooler
And then there was the 1960s mustang with a Honda motor in it .
Ummm, I'm fairly certain the Datsun had a straight 6. Just saying. Keep up the fun projects. You guys do great work.
OEM engine was a L6. Then they swapped it to a Chevy 4.3L V6 from a S10. (And changed it several times as it kept failing).
Then it got the Foxbody V8 as shown in this episode. Maybe do some research on the car, haha.
Factory engine was a inline six. With overhead cam.
@@henrysmith8012 Yup, Freiburger's opening line is that "they removed the V6." 😉
@@cwhitley.sawlabs Foxbody? No such thing. Fox Mustang if anything.
@@AB-80X fox-body is a nickname because the chassis is called the fox platform. Hence, fox-body.
hey guys I was saying to myself like wht!!! lmao they didn't yup I had to see it and wht uk it fits and it was faster thn the slightly mod stang I like to say way to go 😂
Lol... great job! Still not paying tho
A running minimal rust 5.0 foxbody for 1500? Bullshit.
Way back when. Probably when people knew there was no such thing as Fox body Mustang, just a Fox Mustang.
How about a new episode?
That mustang was far more deserving of an engine swap. And im a chevy guy
Finally.
killer
Where has the dissustan
Motortrend sucks it never works , on my phone or laptop like wtfff motortrend ? Been paying for it for over a year and it never works !?
"Been paying for it for over a year and it never works" That could tell us sometining about your intelligence...
I have no problems with mine. Really enjoying it. Unfortunately Roadiill is not doing a lot of content right now.
More fool you for paying. Won’t get a penny out of me. I’ll stick the RUclipsrs that remain
Freiburger Is a powerbottom
Oh great “ford finnegan” FO!!
Always had love for that car was just so powerful pile on garbage🤣
Only 225 HP why stop there it has 300tq
They ran that engine on Engine Masters. It made way north of 600 hp I believe.
Old episode...boo
Boycott go auto insurance
You know if that 302 fails a lLS4 from a front wheel drive cop car will bolt up to that transmission...really
buy a new chassis
No respect for anything these two
First
