Big Block 440 '68 Dodge Dart! | Roadkill Garage | MotorTrend

Recently, Freiburger and Dulcich were stopped by some fans who invited the guys to come thrash the Crusher Impala around their property. While there, Freiburger spotted a big-block 440-swapped '68 Dart he couldn’t pass up. Now, the guys pick up the Dart and take it home to give it an impressive engine bay makeover and horsepower-adding tune-up.

What color paint would you go with for this Dart?

[@jakie2412]

racing green all the way

[@calvincooley1074]

Original

[@peterschimke9075]

Black, bring mtod back to Australia.

[@wendyandgeoffpattison2610]

Limelight with parchment interior and Rally wheels. Wwoohhoo.

[@moparmissile]

Mod Top Roof and Panther Pink . oh yeah.

[@chriskingston4270]

The cutscene of Steve’s face when the fireball woofed out of the carb though! 🤣🤣. P.S. I LOVE that car and I want it!

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

He looks like some mad scientist in a dark lab with that lighting on him.

[@williamstamper442]

He looks like his wife just caught him cheating in that shot

[@jasonsabourin2275]

Someone stepped on his tail.

[@joelg4849]

Epic. I love watching you two guys work together.

[@edgarreyes.diegotorresreye7959]

Too bad the show went from being free on KZbin to being monetized because it was getting popular

[@timhenning18]

America ...... We make profit......

[@samhain6953]

​@@timhenning18 Its still too bad regardless

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

Man that takes me back! I had a 67 with factory 273v8 2bbl, 727 and posi. Me and my brother pulled it, swapped in a 557 lift purpleshaft, sent the heads off for 3 angle and double springs, added a streetmaster 318 edelbrock, 850 holley doublepump, cyclone headers with 2.5" duals straight into 30" walker turbos with turndowns in front of the axle to send reverb back up into the car. Totally wicked monster that drank quite well from that 850 and would light em up anywhere up to 60 on dry pavement. Never put a tach on it but I am pretty sure it revved over 8k stock. Never heard a v8 scream that loud and high, with the typical Chrysler cackle at idle. Man I miss that car. Glad to see another one being kept alive!!

[@mattk252]

I had a 1986 ramcharger royal se 4x4 360 was stroked to 409 bluprinted & ballanced 2 stages of nos 1 dry 1wet 727 Trans stage 3 full manual and a super high stall converter 8800rpm all day long! Swaped in 1 ton diffs d60 front d70 rear with 4.10 gears it would spank 2door viper trucks with ease

[@MassiveTrackHunter]

@@mattk252 sounds like whiplash. Nice!

[@anthonycadiou8367]

Always looks nice when the engine bay is detailed

[@davidtappe5337]

David’s impression of no bumper stance kicked me off tha couch. 🤣

[@casow780]

T-shirt please

[@kevinparker9932]

Hahahaha! He nailed it!

[@Coronet_shop]

@@casow780 agreed t-shirts nnnnnnow

[@mullittmustang256]

It’s so accurate too 😂😭 that’s what happens when you just film two dudes working on a car you catch golden stuff like that

[@getchasome6230]

Dulcich is my favorite person on the planet

[@brianpaulson6534]

I miss my 68 Dart gt /6 auto. Totalled by a drunk driver at 60 mph didn't try to stop. Nice job guys.

[@mchristr]

Technology is fine and all but you can't beat the physics of a small car with a big engine. It never gets old.

[@phillipthethird42]

I saw this on TV, But I just had to watch it again. Such a big fan.

[@bradjr5264]

I absoultely love the chemistry between you two!! Can we please get an episode of you guys with Westen Champlin? Please. I feel like that would be such a cool episode!

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Massive improvement. Went from where's the crusher to this is cool.

[@blown572hemi]

Amazing what a little bit of elbow grease and paint can do. Nice job fellas

[@brandonwinter2094]

I remember cheap thrills Dart like it was yesterday. Great episode

[@irvingsantiago6701]

Love the bungee cord hooks for hood pin clips...... run what you have! Been there done that!

[@wreckingyardbob7828]

I LOVE 68 DARTS! COOL!

[@johnstach4601]

Having a clean car is nice too

[@villyrivera6856]

I love Petina on a classic car just do the motor, drive train, exhaust, wheels and tires and your GOLD!

[@joecooper7803]

Loved “cheap thrills” back when magazines were fun !!!

[@niceguytim]

Growing up my family had a 1969 bronze Dodge Dart with the 225 slant six in it.

[@marlonbrown1461]

My first car was a 66 Dart w/225 slant 6. My favorite has always been a 68 Dart. I've been hoping to run across a decent one ever since. One day!!!

[@jakie2412]

man i love roadkill garage

[@markgeary5897]

Roadkill is the best,how about meeting Dennis Collins on a Coffee walk?

[@aliassmithandjones9453]

Uncle Tony eat your heart out! 😄

[@marcolopez5042]

My neighbor owed that cheap thrill Dodge dart that thing was a beast of a car. I think he's a tattoo artist

[@Nichole-440HP]

Saw this on motor trend last month . Nice little dart

[@pipesanchez9611]

Please bring back motor trend for countries outside US tu watch

[@johnwick-ii6il]

A high block...never stop teaching the new guys.

[@dustyearly3220]

I love that car wish I could get one one day

[@chrisbueschel3884]

its perfect now! no need to change anything

[@robflammia4716]

When you pulled the 440 and trans for the cheap thrills dart you dumped trans fluid everywhere out the tail shaft...much neater this time

[@RobertBrown-qq4bg]

I would like to see more stuff from speed channel

[@timothycooney986]

Guys, any chance you could be talked into some green power episodes? If performance mods increase engine efficiency, then tailpipe emissions should decrease while fuel should increase, no? Take a factory performance car and make it greener...

[@danielvick7875]

Always more gooder!

[@stanleymartin1613]

Cool stuff 😎 👍. Enjoyed

[@joonnas095]

Want rodkill back on KZbin!!

[@Press1for]

F yeah...... Epic burnout

[@TheKillerDildo]

Roadkill family! My best friends are getting married in Vegas. I know, I know.. but we're Florida boys and his dream is to be married by Elvis. With the Estates crackdown that cant happen now... but as best man and godfather to their cranky beautiful child i cant let it not happen, I'm gonna be there dressed as Elvis and the happy couple doesn't know it! If there is somebody in the Vegas area with a pink Cadillac willing to pick the happy couple up it would be something they'd never forget! And if your palms need greasing there's a 454 in it for you

[@rodeleon2875]

looks like whats left of green interior. i'd go with sanded out matte lime green

[@PeterSmith-or3pq]

Good enough for M$B . Good enough for me 💯

[@hapaboy65m87]

The Dulcich is using a gravity feed spray gun?

[@jerrycraig6522]

If I have any kind of car, I want Dulchich to help me wrench on it!!!

[@waynehardy6186]

Guys there is a channel using your vids the name is tanvir diary's.

[@localcrew]

When they first got it, that car was methed up.

[@andrewmarshall360]

Did someone mention naturally aspirated 440 ?

[@patriotdiz4846]

[@thomasbujnoski1654]

[@moremetal71]

Thumbs up=Rev higher. Dolsich w/the throttle response.

[@grunt9131]

When I turned 16 back in 19 88 my mom bought a 72 Dodge Dart with a 318 in it. For $700

[@milaryan17]

I would like to buy this

[@jeffreyperrault3792]

Just a note to the next generation of hot rodders..when you do a rattle can rebuild..what that actually means is you did a complete engine rebuild but lost the receipts.

[@dannyoutlaw8001]

Paint the car that color.... that thing looks sweet under the hood...

[@rdety]

Why are you spraying garbage into the carb?..Let it get fuel and start on it's own....wth?!..

[@bradcross2]

there is this new thing called you tube its different to tv. you should try it some time ask your kids they will show you

[@techs1smh13]

More gooder.😂👍

[@WeldinMike27]

Watch the dart.

[@parkermorgan7934]

I religiously pray to dulcich

[@Donny.C.wlWilliams]

factory original or turbine bronze

[@nicksgamming6102]

Yeeeeeess

Cool but… Crop Duster is way cooler!

[@stephenmoulton9284]

ooh look some did math > and fit a BMFing Air Filter On A Mopat>> is it a first ?

[@donreinholz8121]

Fire in the hole! Lol

[@walasiewicz]

You 2 are awesome together. You can totally tell that you guys have been friends since you were young

[@brandonnunez3644]

I think there’s about a 10 to 20 year age gap between the two of them don’t think it was friendship since youth, but definitely have the ability to bond real well

[@robertestrada1683]

“It’s like spraying….JB weld” 😂😂😂 exactly freiburger

[@jeremywillis7407]

Love the Dart, It just needs some drag wheels and tires now. A set of polished Centerline Auto Drags and some Mickey Thompson ET Street R's 295's would look awesome. 😎

[@PrincessTS01]

i do love a nice freshly painted engine bay.

[@dustydon6419]

The chemistry between these guys is awesome. Dulcich is a frick’n beast! These 2 guys have to be among the most knowledgeable people in the automotive world today. I just really love the way they explain what they’re doing, don’t take anything too seriously and they appear to having some great fun doing something that brings them joy. When you add in the fact that they share this with the public I feel fortunate that I’m able to watch it. Finnegan and his crew are awesome too.

[@Partnerthedog]

The most knowledgeable on old cars, I bet you put them around some brand new European stuff and they won't even touch it or know anything about it! I don't blame em either.

[@davea5113]

Go ahead and paint the rest of it!

[@SigmaStoicGemini]

Keep going with the build guys, the Dart is badass!!!! Use that engine bay paint on the body, and it would look awesome!

[@1953beetle]

The Dart looks like a Valliant Regal once sold in Australia. Another great video.

[@justinfletcher5189]

The cheap thrills dart had a huge impact on me as a kid. One of a handful of cars that shaped what I think a hotrod should be.

[@j1974f]

That was awesome!! I love that Dart!! More please!

[@felipeulrichotaviano6929]

Diferencia muito pouca coisa mas é igual ao dodge aqui no brasil. Muito show !!!! Parabéns pelo vídeo.

[@OldFartsStreaming]

Seeing this makes me miss old Roadkill :(

[@MrWoodshoes]

Had paint leftover, gee what could you do with it ?

[@donkluender3027]

Awesome car... I had a1969 GT with a 318, automatic console shift. Best car I ever owned!! Keep up the good work!!

[@emilianocruz11]

We need full episodes of roadkill garage on youtube and hope the dirt every day vs roadkill garage jeep episode here in KZbin pleaseee

[@CarsandCats]

Where do I get the "Gasoline Forever" t-shirt?

[@duramax78]

Dulchich has bad shakes, hope he’s alright, praying for you brother.

[@rickhewitt8588]

Great! Ringo to ya

[@josephlandrum9269]

8-71 blower

[@willthetrill4849]

Now that is basically a clone of a 1968 Mr. Norms Dart GSS. All these guys have to do is cut holes in the fender wells for the big headers

[@alsmith9298]

I would pay big money to see a Uncle Tony /Freiburger /Steve D battle royal. Make it happen guys.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Mr. Norm did it in his GSS like the one in my clip about it

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO DAVID!!!! GREAT REBUILD AND UPGRADES!!!! CHEAP THRILLS 2.0 !!!!! I LOVED THAT OLD DART!!! I AM GLAD TO SEE IT RETURNING AGAIN!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING AND SO INSPIRATIONAL!!!!!

[@damntueton]

Did you ever calm down after posting this comment?

[@michaelh370]

Had a 69 440 dart, miss that car.

[@pineyLt]

Just watched this on TV and you told us who made the headers but I didn’t quite get it. Came back here but it’s not included. What was the brand for the header ?

[@gpt5002]

Am I crazy for thinking.... Why not paint the bay and the block at the same time with the same paint? Maybe I am!

[@gymshoe8862]

That Hemi Orange is not the right shade. Too bad.

[@tonny.c]

It killing me they went into trouble of lowering the quality of the footage to something around 720p for these youtube clips

[@tylerbrown6824]

Fin?

[@wendyandgeoffpattison2610]

That was cool. It's not easy shoe horning an RB into an A body engine bay. Well done guys. It has already been said, but I'll say it again, Dulcich is da man!

[@charlesdossett8581]

What's up with the wild eyed look on Dulcich's face when the carb backfired?

[@johnsheetz6639]

Remember the old I think it was hot rod article about a cheap drag racer. They threw a 440 out of a imperial into a dart. They were trying to make something fast for $2,000. My favorite thing about the article is the pipe clamps for the transmission mount on the crosmember.😆 Edit this is the exact car I was talking about!

[@Campbase1]

its always the same. Eventually they want everything to be pretty.

[@leewaddell8561]

Grandma had the Dollies..yes you know the dolls with the dress over the TP roll. Creepy. She wanted more and thought the internet would get her more...NOOOO... we stopped her..sure you get the picture...

[@kol3994]

How did the power steering fit and were there clearance issues with the exhaust?

[@robertyoung8289]

I love that car!
