Boatkill! The Muscle Truck-to-Boat Extreme LS Engine Swap! - Roadkill Ep. 36
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2015
- On this episode of Roadkill, the boys are back to kick off Season 4 with their most epic engine swap to date! This time Finnegan and Freiburger drag an old Rogers Bonneville jet boat to a local Southern California lake behind the Muscle Truck, a lowered 1974 Chevrolet C10 pickup that's powered by a Chevrolet Performance LS6 crate engine. Once at the lake, they proceed to remove the engine from the truck and install it into the boat, hoping to do a little drag racing during the Tom Papp Memorial boating event. As usual things don't go as planned but the guys still manage to have fun involving an outhouse, shower curtains, scummy water and a trailer hitch. Oh yeah, did we mention that after going boating Finnegan and Freiburger still had to take the engine back out of the boat and re-install it into the truck to get home?

Going back and rewatching old episodes, can't believe this came out 8 years ago. Feels like yesterday
i Remember watching this at 8 and being amazed that a car engine could power a boat
@@HeJLag😂if that ain’t the truth learned a lot from roadkill it was fun watching back then
Finally they’ve brought some of the RUclips videos back!
I mean, this was posted 7 years ago. Unless they made it public again
@@night5738 it was made private, now it's public again
@@night5738 they did. A bunch of these videos were set to private for years
So its not my imagination :D
I’d love to see the ranchero series opened again.
This was probably your most roadkill episode ever.
Of all the automotive shows on RUclips, (besides Velocity Quest :), this is one that should be on TV!!
Noooooo, no no no. TV would completely RUIN what Roadkill is all about.
sgtpepper1138 I totally agree
no. Those corporate fuckers would squeeze every dime out of the show. You'd see about 5% action and 95% ads. Ask Stacey David.
Once a new format is proven successful in TV, the show that did it rules the roost. Given the right network, deal and advertising, this show would destroy and still retain it's spirit. I would rather watch Roadkill over any other automotive TV show and I think that most other automotive content consumers would agree. And who's Stacy David :)
JC Image Inc I don't think it would. Grueling schedules and producing a show once a week would ruin everything this show is about. Stacey David has a show on tv (spike I think, or speed) that is about cars, there is not a minute on that show where you don't hear about some plug for some new tools or parts. There is too much ad and not enough information/entertainment value which makes the show boring sometimes. It would be cool to have a show like roadkill on tv but don't do it with roadkill, as they are doing a great job and it would just ruin their layout which many people like.
This being episode 36, it means roadkill has been going for three years! Happy 3rd birthday!
going on 4! this is the first episode in Season 4
Motor Trend Channel Congrats!
Motor Trend Channel Even better
I count the Buick as episode 0 !
Motor Trend Channel Please make an episode ATLEAST once a month.
B - bust
O - out
A - another
T - thousand
😂😂 i love mine tho lol happy there bringing back these to RUclips idc if I’ve watched it before 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah this makes 800 n/a and 1200 with nos
Wheres your nos bottle
Dont worrry about it
That made me laugh
Freiburger: It has sand
Me: Yeah port and polish right?
***** It's a new thing.
me to
Its got the sand dude. The what. THE SAND...its the new thing
No chance that thing makes 800na. Just saying..
The refueling on the water with another boats electric fuel pump is priceless
Been waiting for this forever! The day when we combine Roadkill with Finnegans Boats
Absolutely loved this episode. Old school boat episode all the way…
Bout time😂 this is one of my favorite RUclips videos of all time
The shower curtain rain gear at the end is just icing on the cake as well
Finally!!!!!! I waited too long for this.
We all did
Omg RoadKill!!!!!!! X)
wow.. much roadkill wow
Everyone did mate
You waited exactly as long as they said it would take.
Great mechanics!!! Awesome video!
You guys are the best. That last burnout was tops!!! Haha

1612maximus

Saturday for an hour and 18 minutes as of writing this.
Watching in mid 2022 - Production of this video is superlative.
Great Stuff!
its got the sand dude 😂 love this show so much
One of my favorite episodes!
My friend was saying how cool it would be to stick 125hp boat engine into a mini cooper the other day
Don't mini coopers already have way more than 125hp to begin with?
naah a 250 2 stroke yammie would be cooler
Edgar the Cow no, just no.
BigNastyreborn
why not?
Edgar the Cow for a mini cooper? that thing wouldnt be nearly powerful enough.
THE BEST Roadkill episode ever. This one and Stubby Bob's Comeback. ❤
Thanks for putting this one back up motortrend. So many good episodes but i really reckon this one's my favourite. Was pretty sad when i couldn't watch it on mtod any more(australia)
Roadkill should have their own boat and have LS 1 t or a LS7 in their boat. That would be kicking
They do know it’s has a now blow up twin turbo ls in it. It’s that boat I believe
@@huntercox1859 game over?
Yes, a LS7 454!!!
Roadkill every forth month
WELCOME BACK ROADKILL!
Omg I love this episode, watched prob 5 times now. You guys are incredible, I love it
Sleep? What is sleep when new Roadkill's out?
Been around boats most my life…..money trap… and yes it is like that every time you fix it breaks up to 5 times in one use…..Oh ya know they sell hitches at uhaul?
More than likely filler
The exhaust note of the muscle truck never gets old. Listening to a Lamborghini murcielago V12 roar is like listening to led Zeppelin's first record listening to the muscle truck blazing tires is like listening to Van Halen 1 it never gets old.
now make an old ass deisel run on old cooking oil
You guys should get 2 motors.🤣🤣
Nah that ain't roadkill enough
New episodes just don’t hit the same 😞
Because there not wrenching on there own cars and doing adventures but finding shot boxes to do road-trips.
I love the muscle truck
Is that an english springer spanniel?
No it's an LS6
Mike Finnegan
Know you're a drag boat racer, know jets are the norm and used cause of computer control, etc, but have you done any time in propeler boats? you have anything with a prop? would of loved that Ls for my Dads hydro!
Mike Finnegan lovely dogs, Mike, but daft as a brush....
Springer's are the best.
Love the dog,and great episode!
Thumbs up if you want the tunnel intake on the muscle truck !
Shoulda used the blower from the Draguar!
Remember that is no longer in the roadkill arsenal.
I thought they left it on the side of the road?
JL Cannone it has a new engine
Oh right. My bad, no harm done
Yea i totally forgot XD
One of the Best episodes of roadkill
Yall are some savages.
This is a wild project/challenge
This is what is uppppp
Haha the seagull pooped right when Roadkill sign came on
My favourite joke on Roadkill
Its got the sand 🤣
"It's got the sand dude. The what? The sand, it's the new thing." Kills me every time, also "1200 on the bottle. where's your bottle? Don't worry about it" LMAO
+Morgan Jacobson ikr i had to pause the episode i was laughing so hard
seriously lol best part of that episode
xxxx
:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
hahahaha was gunna say same thing! its got sand
I love the optimism of these guys. It never fails. "Sky is falling?" "Naah. Not a problem."
Now take the engine and put it in a small plane, then fly it.
That would be cool because there are planes powered by LS engines. But the only LS engines used in some planes are LS3s.
Yea gotta cover all forms of transportation! 😂😂😂😂
Do a triathlon, car->boat->plane.
You could do that with a Lexus LS400, the engine is certified for use in aircraft.
That would seriosuly be amazing.
Now to wait another 4 weeks for another episode, time to crawl back into my burrow until episode 37 comes out...
yep i agree
alec luttrell 4th friday is tomorrow. STOKED
I.R K :D :D :D :D :D
In like an hour or so its gonna awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lemur sven You are so exited that you forgot typing 'be' after 'gonna' :) .
I am at 15 minutes in wondering when they realize they don't have a truck to put the boat in the water.
+Shane Deon I thought the same thing lol
+Shane Deon Ou its easy to put the boat into water.. getting it out is the tricky part! With out car that is, thought that can be done also with a winch.
+Hellsong89 tyyg
+Hellsong89 tyygg
dauy
love the australian safety boots... you call them flipflops i think.
👏🏼
+Friedrich Georg Schmorl Actually Aussies call them thongs... Kiwis call them flipflops :)
+Friedrich Georg Schmorl - Main diff is its like 72 F there and often 95 F in Australia
+Friedrich Georg Schmorl Japanese Safety Shoes,, made in China! And in Oz they are thongs.
+Friedrich Georg Schmorl Hawaii calls them slippers.
I just love the way that thing starts up in the boat. With those exhaust manifolds and that tunnel ram. tuning is everything
It's crazy when a car show actually does the work instead of a bunch of stupid drama
Ya lol
Sadly since the sponsorship with dodge the show has steadily decline in "awesomeness" and increased in "fake reality"
@@Bossnium still a good show
@@Bossnium increase of awesomeness cuz increase in hemis
Garbage now that they sold out to television
Oh how i miss the days of roadkill being on youtube
"Are you talkin' smack on Chip?!" Yes lmao
Absolutely awesome guys!, doing that swap and go and return. You have given me back my mojo inspiration to go the extra mile. Love what you said "There is no glory with out suffering !" Well done. Thanks for such an amazing adventure. From the down under petrol heads, we salute you!
another excellent episode. Just got turned on to this show a couple of weeks ago, and find myself ripping through 2 or 3 episodes a night. True hot rodders, and very inspirational. Thanks, gents !!
Just discovered this show a few days ago, and my god it's the best thing I've come across in a long while. I don't think I've ever been sitting and saying "Oh god..." and chuckling as much as I have the past few nights. Truly great stuff.
This is quite possibly the most hilarious episode of roadkill of all time.
+Jonah Brame Totally man. Shower curtain rain gear? Ranch Dressing on a water pump? and David's face while they are in the boat. I love this one.
Roadkill is by far, hands down my favorite automotive show. Purely entertaining, kudos! Thanks guys.
Just found these RoadKill episodes. Love the hell out of them!! Back in the late 70's myself and a couple buddys would do off the wall shit like this and do road trips to nowhere special, just road trips in things we put together. Keep em coming! Best vid's on Utube in my opinion! One time we took a body off a old Kenworth Semi and installed it over a short bed chevy pickup and drove it around on a Friday night cruise night.
Wait, 51 thumbs down?! Will the morons please chime in...
it's now 53 WTF.. were they hoping for a fail
57 thumbs down! :(
65 now. Must be all the Chinese workers from the cherry picker & vice grips plant.
67 now
79 now, probably chinese people who can't handle the American Muscle cars
They have some crazy premises for these show but in the end these are some talented guys. The fact that they can bring these forgotten vehicles back from the dead in the timeframes that they do it is nothing short of impressive. I recently discovered this show and have been on a marathon since. Totally inspired to go make something fun. Thanks for putting these online for everyone to enjoy and keep it up.
I have been catching up watching your episodes almost every day at work, when time permits... even when it doesn't. You guys are awesome. This episode proved it. Thanks for the entertainment, knowledge, and pure insanity and laughs you give. I will be watching all the rest of these shows in the days to come.
I’m not a big boat fan but I loves this boat
Why because the muscle truck engine is in ?
Awesome, I've seen a lot of car shows, you name it,but, never seen an engine taken from a Truck, to a boat, and then ran the boat, and then, back into the truck ! Great job guys :)
I had a Rayson Craft Drag Boat. I give you guys alot of credit. Had a great time watching this............I enjoyed it ! Funny when you ran out of gas. Good Job guys.
RIP Free Roadkill
Guys my nine,almost ten, year old loves roadkill. It is surprising as I have actually tried to discourage him a little from being a gearhead like his old man.
He would like to see more jeep stuff. Please do some more jeep stuff to make this little guy happy.
Hank Rearden I've got respect for your son I'm a gear head (I guess) when i was 7 or 8 I had cars all over the place just layed around sometimes my most favorite cars I treat well put them in a shoe box separated them with a clean cloth and that would superstate them from crashing I still have those cars to this day
man why discourage the kid though lol
Hank Rearden it could be good if he grows up to be like his old man because he could be an engineer and get money for you him and anyone else he loves and wants to help
That was really cool to see . Taking the motor outta the vehicle and putting it into a boat , that was way far out !!! Anyway that was awesome and I hope to be seeing more of you guys .
Please don't stop this series.
9:22 hahahah this mans reactions is so chill im dead
dude, that tunnel ram would look sick in the truck.
That was awesome! I never even had the desire to own or drive? a boat, until this. You guys need to do that again next year!!!!!!!!
you guys are amazing. jsut what i would have done back in the day with my old cousin. great show!!! and nice AirPlane reference too, roger roger,
I love the Boat, The Truck, and the Engine. You Guys are so awesome !!!!!
I love this show.. I find myself watching this show every day now... I have learned a lot... they never focus on the destination.. they just have along the way... not a new idea.. but a great one for sure... I am trying to do more of that in my life... just have fun and laugh everyday... you will have fun even if you never get anywhere in particular. Keep up the great work Roadkill team.
I have seen this episode when it came out and its Epic! But still 2 years after its still as good! Keep em coming!
I’ve got a 77 Nordic tunnel haul jet boat with a 454 big block in it with 650 hp
PLEASE do more with this boat!
Sweet job I did something like this to a 1962 Dorset Catalina I had I put NOS on it off my 2003 Blazer ZR2 I have at the boat launch after three passes going fast the old engine blew up was fun. Keep up the cool shows.
I'm always impressed at how Dave and Mike seem to have NO trouble dropping engines in cars without the transmission already attached to it.
When I put the engine tranny combo back in my 65 imp I attached the tranny outside the car, had the whole front clip already removed and STILL it was one of the toughest weekends of the project.
You can thank the Aussies for the thumbs down. It looks like thumbs up down under
Mike Finnegan that's so badass that you guys went out to TPM that blue cp 18 with a blower and up swepts that you guys parked the boat next to my dads best friends boat, our tx-19 was pulled apart at the time, but I geuss you guys met my dad and his friend, I regret not going I had a rodeo that day, but I hope I'll get to meet you guys someday haha might have to race our NOS winger against your place craft and get our asses handed to us by you haha
Simply wow,I'm impressed and I've owned, built ,and raced jet boats since1979.
These guy's are totally mad and I love it ,it's one of the best car program's I have ever seen . this episode is another great example of what these guy's can do ,I like it more than TOP GEAR what they can do in a car park most people could not do in a big workshop . thank you very much for posting these vid's
This was awesome ........ Yall have the best Job in the country ...
Ya'll is southern for You all ....
+dirtTdude sstttttttuuuuuppppiiiddddd
Neil , it was a legitimate question ... Before I moved to the south , I didnt know what it meant either ..... This also goes for " Yonder" ............ "Yonder " means over there , or any place you are not ...... Southerners have a different dialect and words that are not used anywhere else .... So to call someone stupid for asking a question is wrong ...The only stupid question is the one not asked ...... .... So Neil , You sir are the stupid one ....
+dirtTdude not just a southern thing midwest too big time in iowa
cannot tell if smartassery or not
"Its got the sand dude". I need a shirt or a hat STAT!
u my friends are beasts. I work on cars for a living and what you did was nothing short of amazing. my hats off to you.
The rain "coat" is hilarious!! L.O.L. Boys with Toys... I like the humor.
"We consider this a little bit of work." LOL #roadkill
26:33 "there's no glory without suffering".
"are you talkin smack on chip!" HAHA!!!
I thought this was gonna be a dumb episode because of the boat. who knew, now probably one of my favorite episodes. victory for the roadkill crew on this one :)
Guaranteed I'd have on one of those instant flotation device things on in THAT!
The dog is awesome! Also, Finnegan's 'First ever...' are hilarious. We're about to beat our personal best. LOL!
at first I thought this looked like a lot of hassle. but as soon as the boat got on the water I could tell that the fun you got out of it ,add it totally worth it
its got the sand..
the what?
the sand dont worry about it
Man, every episode looks like hell and the worlds best time at the very same time. Awesome.
This was the first roadkill episode I ever saw. And I was hooked instantly
Just came across this video.
These two guys have the best attitude and skills in getting sh$$ done. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👏👏
So good guys I miss new Episodes I just keep watching the old ones over and over!
This episode was so ridiculous, I loved it. Best car (or boat) show in America.
Best episode ever!
anyone else notice the nail in Dave's flip flop at 4:30?
Yea lmao
Looks like a fish hook or something that shouldn't be near a foot
yes
I LOVED IT !!! Thanks guys. I'd still be in the boat myself !!!
I love how there is an age difference between them but their love for cars has brought both of them together to become best friends that’s how strong the family of classic car owners is
