Title: 440 Big Block Samurai: From Junkyard to Adventure! Plot: In Episode 78 of Roadkill, David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich transformed a Suzuki Samurai salvaged from a junkyard by stuffing a 440 Chrysler big-block engine into it right on site. Now, they’re ready to take it on the road to uncover why Suzuki never offered such a powerful combination. After making some essential tweaks and swapping out the original rearend for a more fitting, albeit still small, version for the 440, they prepare the Super Sammy for its journey. Will the police approve of their "roadworthy" status? Can the new rearend survive a 500-mile trek? Will Dulcich master the ThermoQuad for spectacular burnouts? Tune in to this episode of Roadkill to discover the answers!
