Adding 406 Chevy Small Block in the '56 Field Car! | Roadkill Garage

Freiburger and Dulcich try to break into the 10s at the dragstrip with more power. After diagnosing the injured 350ci engine, the guys drop in a 571-hp 406 that sat for decades.

Yesss Roadkill garage are back in youtube but we need More full episodes from Roadkill and roadkill garage back in youtube please

[@mikestraley7201]

They're not going to put those on KZbin, if they did that then why would people pay to see them on motor trend?

[@johndoe..THE_REAL_JOHN-DOE]

And Pluto tv

[@mattgrice4731]

​@@mikestraley7201 Motortrend subscription service closed in March.

[@ChristopherOvrebo]

These episodes are usually like 6 months behind the app. I had to leave the app. Discovery or whoever runs it has totally just wrecked it over the past couple years. It's all garbage scripted car shows and very little of shows like this, which was what I originally signed up for

[@wtpbs4507]

Or just pay the 4.99 to support them

[@dianasweetpea2561]

I will watch 11 second "old school" over the latest greatest computer car any day.. Thanks men!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

👍❤️

[@kmrumedy]

Glad to see these back on KZbin, Will watch these every time!

[@christophertaylor9100]

I love how gently corrective Dulcich is

[@dhag72]

Dulcich is the man! I don't think anyone could dislike the guy. Friendly, knows when to let things slide, smart as a whip, and finds enjoyment in even the little things. Dude knows how to make a good time out of anything! We all should be more like Dulcich. #BeDulcich 😂

[@robertyoung8289]

My favorite show. Two best characters on Motortrend.

[@nozzledrich]

Same here, Steve and David are great together.

[@moparman1962]

Steve and Derek from Vice Grip Garage are great together also.

[@hippynurd]

I just like watching dulcich get excited at the track

[@mikescott1307]

Love what these two do

[@odbikin]

thank you. I love it so much. it's so satisfying to watch.

[@gordongrimes2797]

2.5 tenths over a 350 pooch witch one is the pooch now? fun to watch over all thanks freiburger and Dulcich great team.long live roadkill.

[@mercedesvan-doors34]

These guys give me joy in my heart. Great to see it on youtube again.

[@mikestraley7201]

I'm glad you got the antifreeze on the floor thing out of the way right at the beginning. Wouldn't be a proper show without it.

[@BuddyTheWolfYT]

Its really cool how modular old cars are

[@Dankcatvacs]

aint that the truth

[@davidhollywood3923]

Only Dulcich is allowed to be on camera immediately after getting out of the shower

[@zacharywallace2243]

🤣

[@jkaa034]

Oddly very educational, and David Freiburger is naturally and inherently very funny.

[@user-fv7rj4kk5f]

Dulcich , looks like you are using 40W hair tonic ,lol

[@gordocarbo]

Slick 50!

[@RANGERIZZY]

Two greats at it again!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@Wooley689]

Never heard about sparkplugs wires causing that issue before. Good to know. I admire Steves knowledge and how he can explain something so it's easy to understand.

[@bobwright992]

Spark plug wires were made with carbon strands to stop interference in the newly installed radios. Since then it's become more critical to stop all the electronics from bouncing untrusted signals. O2 sensors, for example, are very precise and any interference, including poking the lead wire with a test light can throw it all off.

[@blownaway4371]

@bobwright992 Don't they self-learn and continually analyze multiple times a second?

[@bobwright992]

@@blownaway4371 Absolutely but, if every data link is thrown off allowance what does it read?

[@TargaWheels]

TBH I've run copper core spark plug wires with an MSD6A and never had a problem.

[@joshuagarvey9362]

Happened to me.I learned the hard way.

[@user-ef3hf1et3t]

I enjoy how you think everything through and keep it simple and common sense. A bit of air pressure and shock settings and you will get your 10 second pass.

[@wayneyang1155]

It would be soo epic if frieburger completed drag week in this WHILE still broadcasting it the entire week.

[@NGH99999]

I'm a Mopar man through and through, and love all the RG Mopars, but there's just something so cool about the Field Car. Love it.

[@bigblocklawyer]

Yeah. It's a Chevy.

[@FreedomRock44]

GOOD JOB BOYS!!!!! So good to see it not stall out!!!!! 11 even NICE!!!!!

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

Yooooo! My hometown racetrack samoa dragstrip! That's awesome. Eureka very rarely gets any type of recognition. I need to watch that episode I had no idea.

[@user-tn9cr7ne4r]

Love those shoebox Chevys Thanks for the show

[@moparman1962]

Cool...'55-'57 shoeboxes with old-school, stroked, forged crank, aftermarket rods, pistons, heads, intakes and headers small blocks in them are still cool!

[@danareynolds1786]

When disassembling an engine to diagnose possible problems, I NEVER invert the engine to remove the pan. It can drop tell-tale metal shavings and/or chunks from the bottom of the pan. Easier to diagnose if you find stuff where it "naturally" fell.

[@blownaway4371]

Wouldn't the thrust "flange" be suspect for making the crank 'walk' with a clutch assembly?

[@williamtownsend4978]

10.99 in a 350 Chevy 2 bolt main 457hp 72 nova

[@craigmaverick]

I'm just finishing up a 72 bronco restoration, 427 SB, Dart block that dynoed @570HP. Gearstar AOD. I wonder what it would run? 🤔😉

[@kasamago]

Amazing show..

[@allstylinone5122]

We didn't have no stinkin rev limiter and we liked it!

[@kevkilian]

Glad to watch RKG again, had to drop the motor trend app because the format is no worthless

[@JKadison]

Nice job!

[@odbikin]

good job guys :)

[@FreedomRock44]

The DANG wires......who woulda thunk????? The mystery of the ignition boxes solved!!!!!! Unreal!!!!!

[@idontcare3013]

These fellers are the last great thing left in California. Let's hope the good folks of the state come together and save it.

[@jimmoe6446]

Like the previous comment, there's nothing like watching the old school cars drag race. But put a little paint on it, even primer would look better than rust. 👍

[@user-wt7rh2rw8g]

Youtell'em homie😊

[@rodrigoribeiro5225]

I love all of this 😯👊👊👍.

[@kcrreedranch]

Send this video to Finagan. So maybe he will learn how to shift a stick drag car. Way to crank it Freiberger

[@shartne]

Great shifting. 11.00 is great! Only way to go faster is with a blower or a turbo. Put a light weight steel tube suspension on it? Or does it already have that? Fiberglass hood and doors. Its a ripper. Can you put even more timing in it?

[@CarsandCats]

Could have run 10's easily with more launch rpm. Car was bogging at the clutch drop because not enough flywheel weight.

[@gordocarbo]

Car has a ten in it without changing parts

[@gordocarbo]

@@CarsandCats Exactly! Not a fan of light flywheels. Weight has more stored energy

[@erscustoms911]

Friedburger u need a caulk gun for the china walls brotha 😎

[@theguy9234]

If you didn't know. Your right Foot is the rev limiter

[@bigospig]

4 of the cylinders have 60 PSI compression, but only one leaking valve?

[@leftyo9589]

MT is entertainment only, not real life.

[@CarsandCats]

SO much wrong with this video - for entertainment purposed only.

[@JohnW1711stock]

Rust free? There hasn't been a rust free 56 Chevy since 1969! LOL! Sifting the old "H" pattern. Cool episode.

[@Frank-hw9kk]

Yeah best day at work ever

[@CarsandCats]

PUSH CLUTCH IN at the finish line. Never let a motor decelerate the car - that's how you stretch rod bolts.

[@notchfox6086]

Amazing ❤❤❤

[@josephpuou96]

Yes that was awesome 😎 guys Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽😎🌴

[@MrsSunshine75]

Hard to tell for sure, but looked like the ARP flywheel bolts were going into holes in the flywheel that had not been properly chamfered for that bolt?

[@jscheu71]

Someone needs to send Dulcich a gift card to Super Cuts

[@Gavin-qh7li]

He might get a Mullet do you want to be responsible for that 😂

[@scottmears7490]

Love it

[@lunsy9420]

I built a 500 hp motor out of spare parts. Must be nice.

I killed an engine with too much silicone in the back valley. Dizzy caught some silicone in install and plugged off oil passage

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Ouch.

[@gordocarbo]

One reason I went back to using cork gaskets with brown permatex.

[@bobwright992]

[@gregsidel3557]

I have to ask.What you say the compression was in all cylinders

[@Gavin-qh7li]

The double decker gasket??? will blow out I'm guessing 3 passes Eddie Lock in 3 passes

[@mwhitelaw8569]

I remember back when redding didn't have lights or any safety equipment to be found anywhere. Many moons ago.....hahaha

[@reallifehardtruth4465]

Somebody makes shims for wide clearance china rails. They work

[@CarsandCats]

Rightstuff.

[@jodygraham6936]

well I'm not surprised driving a field car

[@CZ-kz7ug]

Could add a little strength, and sandwich a china wall gasket in between the rtv double decker.

[@G55STEYR]

Put some Engine Masters here too, no app in Romania

[@bajaclaws]

these guys are Krass and Bernie in real life

[@TargaWheels]

I thought it was in the 10's with the 350? The 400 rod/stroke isn't made for rpm. After 6500 the power goes flat and doesn't pull, if you're using 5.56 rods. Unless you already have 5.7 or longer rods.

[@edpeleschka2729]

Like it!

[@tedzehnder961]

The way my granny shifted and Frieburger`s granny shifted are a little different.

I like Roadkill Garage a lot more than Roadkill. Roadkill is ok and entertaining. But, I love Roadkill Garage. It is more educational, and you can things you can do to your junk. To make it better…

[@CarsandCats]

Red Loctite on flywheel bolts.

[@FreedomRock44]

Was that a copper Javelin???

[@alertgasper]

shoot, align bore the mains if you need to, stud the caps for certain, and get any aftermarket 383 crank in there. Plenty of cruising power and less stress with the extra displacement--probably mellow out that top end design anyway and stay with pump gas compression at 377 cid.

[@user-wt7rh2rw8g]

Bionic man was with ,Jamie summers a diff actress, not faraha fawset 😊

Why is a light weight fly wheel hard to launch and drive?

[@gordocarbo]

Has no intertia, or stored energy .Heavy FW will launch the car without bogging, good shift recovery too

Why would you run a diaphragm clutch on a race car?

[@ShawnGilbert1967]

10 to 1 is killing it, that's why wasn't much difference...the 350 was 11 to 1... Mill those 227s down to get it up to 11 to 1 and it will help the China rail issues too

[@GTAADDICT3D]

Steve is a hottie

[@chager6013]

Man I went to trade school for auto repair in 72 we used to run around in a 68 Dodge charger RT black we came across a built 440 and put it in with a 4-speed I put a larger fuel line on it got it to run 175 mph

[@joesmoth2610]

He can't even admit when he over revs the engine or money shifts

[@gordocarbo]

He did in this vid

[@ericflower9855]

what happened ? I thought they wanted 10's

[@gordocarbo]

Bet she saw a 10 sec slip that day, no way could they drive away with just an 11.00!! WHat gears are you running out back? Which clutch slave?
