Boatkill! The Muscle Truck-to-Boat Extreme LS Engine Swap! - Roadkill Ep. 36

[@JCImageInc.]

Of all the automotive shows on KZbin, (besides Velocity Quest :), this is one that should be on TV!!

[@sgtpepper1138]

Noooooo, no no no. TV would completely RUIN what Roadkill is all about.

[@Danielson_1]

sgtpepper1138 I totally agree

[@ccubsfan94]

no. Those corporate fuckers would squeeze every dime out of the show. You'd see about 5% action and 95% ads. Ask Stacey David.

[@JCImageInc.]

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 :)

[@ccubsfan94]

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.

[@jcanderson6656]

This was probably your most roadkill episode ever.

[@SoilentGr33n]

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.

[@pdid44569]

This being episode 36, it means roadkill has been going for three years! Happy 3rd birthday!

[@preteristlab-endtimes5683]

I love the optimism of these guys. It never fails. "Sky is falling?" "Naah. Not a problem."

[@Erich2142]

Now take the engine and put it in a small plane, then fly it.

[@CMTreptow]

That would be cool because there are planes powered by LS engines. But the only LS engines used in some planes are LS3s.

[@tylerhughes9586]

Yea gotta cover all forms of transportation! 😂😂😂😂

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

I would love to see you guys do a LS motor and trans swap into the mazdarati pickup think then you would hit the low 10's like originally planned.

[@DBGMLV]

I don't think there is a gearbox that would fit in the current configuration. If they went with a FR configuration it'll fit and even run 9's with a decent budget turbo LS, but it would ruin the charm the car has.
