The Mopar Muscle Truck Blew Up - Roadkill Extra

Episode 15 of Roadkill Garage found the hosts finally getting Steve Dulcich’s Dodge D100 pickup running with a hot 360ci small-block. Sadly, while hauling the Crusher Camaro to the track for a more recent episode, the Mopar Muscle Truck’s 360 blew up. This episode of Roadkill Extra will tell you how and why-then show you the replacement engine. But will it be temporary or semipermanent?

Dulcich is the coolest raisin farmer ever

[@DiscoFang]

That really opens up sooo many questions about you.

[@Taydrum]

Dulcich is a pretty cool guy, he farms raisins, bashes headers, and doesn't afraid of anything

[@El_Chompo]

I love Dulcich's love for small displacement high RPM v8s.

[@A_Man_Of_Culture_]

sirgallium Those "small" v8 's are still massive engines, it is just they are so acustomed to their massive egos with their 8 liter v8's that a 5 liter seems "small" to them

[@nicholaselias2946]

+mrsuperbuckets Small displacement... Typically meaning a small block, which is much smaller than the larger big blocks.

[@A_Man_Of_Culture_]

Nicholas Elias If you are talking about physical dimensions then yes, but even from the factory there have been small blocks that are of a larger displacement than some factory big blocks.

[@jaymoe5.7]

mrsuperbuckets To muscle car guys 5.2l is small. To import guys thats massive so I can see where your coming from.

[@MikeyB-Rod]

Not sure what ego has to do with this?

[@allmopar1771]

Dulcich is a quiet unassuming guy , until you put him behind a V8 stick shift , then, the devil takes over. My kind of guy.

[@DrLoverLover]

You like guys? Cool

[@keithbrettell2058]

Dingle-ball is such a funny word LOL

[@matthewmcdaniel1405]

that 318 sounds like music to my ears

[@matthewmcdaniel1405]

I wish he could build my 318 like that

[@frankndeebox]

Matthew Mcdaniel I agree it sounds sweet

[@dannyhanny1191]

I wish I could build one like that as well. I've seen modified 318's, but have never seen one done right (that made the power one would hope for after the investment of time and money).

[@TheDustyaman]

Matthew Mcdaniel I'm starting my 318 build soon for my dart sport.

[@novidsheremovealong1893]

Matthew Mcdaniel i got an 86 ram, and boy does my truck sound great when i gun the engine, also a 318, with a dual exhaust, a 4 barrel carb, and a new air filter... cant wait to get those secondaries opened up....

[@RY4NP]

Dulcich is the man!

[@100bees5]

fuzzy wuzzy edgy reply there. You really got him.

[@Loth440]

KZbin has the best edgelords, doesn't it?

A man with a ponytail...

Tho he sometimes needs to lay off the needle!

Dulcich is awesome.

[@MrGingerdavis11]

Damn that lil 318 sounds great!!

it's the fitness truck because they'll be Fitness engine in another episode

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

I saw what you did there…

[@neverstoplearning7214]

😆 Good one 🖒🖒

[@brodemarvin5125]

[@02rtjawn]

Dulcich has been dying to use that 318

[@philplatts6433]

Love the d 100 step side she's got some power

[@brandowitz09]

when you said that motor started instantly u were right i didnt even hear a starter before hearing it fire up

[@johnkramer7161]

I did.

[@Korruptionen]

Dulchich is an odd one... but he's winning me over.

[@trashflood7883]

Not odd, he's the man. Just not camera polished which is better in my opinion.

[@timsharpe3498]

Dulcich is just like every other Mopar nerd I’ve ever known. I like his engine work. His taste in car body styles is another thing altogether.

[@NathanJones-lz9gh]

In earlier episodes he seemed to belittle Freiberger all the time. I didn’t like that, but he seems to be getting better

[@jacobaguilar6756]

@@NathanJones-lz9gh as freiburger did him as well!

[@79tazman]

I love those old D100 trucks and that one is sweet

[@Brad772006]

You know why it blew up? MotorTrend on demand, that's why.

[@dynodon100]

Dulcich is the true star anyway ! He is the brains of the whole series. Give credit where credit is due! He and the "OTHER" Steve B.

[@dposer10]

dang that truck sounds real good

[@evan8650]

Love the 318s. The best thing about these trucks is how simple they are and very light.

[@cdangers]

Nice to see Dulcich is much more comfortable in front of the camera now.

[@John-dz6vm]

Man I sure do like those old Mopar trucks. Thanks for the video!

[@TheBMK792]

Love the colour on that thing

[@toddtoddman9073]

whenever I hear the "living the dream" phrase I think of these guys

[@jackrohde4709]

Dulcich is the Einstein of MOPAR!

[@ghostrt1608]

jack rohde ...Rick Ehrenberg from Mopar Action magazine may be the Einstein of Mopars imho...read one of those magazines if u ever get a chance...he knows his s#!t...for real!!!

[@allenhughes3013]

Roadkill extra on MOD with Steve is worth watching every time. Classic old school car guy with endless knowledge.

[@alzaidi7739]

Thanks, really enjoyed all the Mopar talk.

[@ApostleDavids8w]

Dulcich love the fit truck. I keep coming back learning something new every time.

[@MLFranklin]

Pre-smog trucks rock! Great episode. I love my small block Chevy because I'm lazy and frugal, but I also love seeing these oddball engines, too.

[@SootySweep22]

That sounds like a sweet motor. Very smooth.

[@thedude7726]

dolsage reminds me in ways of my step dad. its been 15 years , and I miss those old conversations about this part off of that made to fit this so that we could fix the family truck, tractor etc....

[@Nobodyofimportance2u]

why didn't they use Freiburger/Dulcic for the entire roadkill series? the chemistry is perfect

[@RAID3R63]

cause they would have only built rods and dulcich didn't work for dave

[@jessefloyd1056]

I could sit and listen to y'all talk all day about engines 😆😆. As for the Edelbrock yes they make some good products but I always never really liked their carbs. I always believed they were not what they were rated at to. So whenever I see one on a engine I just think in my head to myself, if you put a 4150 Holley on their you will make more power.

[@7xchad]

318s may not have tons of horsepower, but they produce tons of torque. One of the best sounding engines too! Ran straight pipes on an old Plymouth I had w/ a 318 that would drown out a bowtie 350 with open headers.

[@brandonbell433]

Not even close lol. The 318 never made much torque due to its short stroke. And 350 Chevrolet would absolutely stomp a 318 Chrysler stock for stock

[@lilturk726]

[@donaldpowers5557]

wish they would grab an magnum 360 and toy with them, use the 91-95 overdrives they are 727 inside and they are plenty of them still on then road...my 2000 dakota is a blast....

[@ramairgto72]

David is buying a GTO to go after Mike.

[@stevesoldier5223]

In his T/A?

[@The400AndOverClub]

Firebird?

[@ramairgto72]

Just kidding, well it would be nice to see some sort of David, Mike PMD war. Plot twist would be "Chief" in the mix.

[@rustymotor]

Lovely truck, sounds amazing!

[@bigal1568]

Gotta love them 318"s

[@jy7duality]

Dude wtf!? That little 318 gets with it and sounds amazing

[@martinlagrange8821]

The inevitable thought that runs through your head as the truck pulls away is - "its got some pickup!" yes, yes it does :-)

[@markbeech3455]

Wow that truck is in nice shape, the grille looks perfect

[@oqsy]

The last 3 seconds was art

[@krazi77]

love this truck! I want to see more of it!

[@propaneandpropaneaccessori3446]

perfect work truck

[@michaelcocchiola7080]

Steve you're a legend!

[@JackassBros6111]

I wouldn't mind seeing a full restoration of the 69' Mach 1

[@jocktheglide]

glad I got me a membership at MTOD well worth it and got a free year of roadkill magazine.

[@richardlycawolphwolfe9173]

That's the best sounding 318,I've ever heard.SWEET

[@kencohagen4967]

I had a 318 come into the shop in a van. It ran terrible, but it ran . The guy shut it off, asked us how much to rebuild his motor, we gave him a rough estimate and he fired it up and drove it into the bay. We pulled the motor and found the center main journal broke in half at an angle so the front end drove the rear end when one of the front cylinders fired and vice versa. We had another crank in the crank room and the block was good, the mains were square and straight so all we had to do was a normal rebuild with a different crank.

[@jazbuh1794]

Best Closing Ever!

[@jobeebrownbag234]

This truck has more balls than my old '79 Chevy Sport step side with the 350 4bbl, soft cam, brand new! So jealous!

[@garybrown4671]

Sounds great!

[@FrankySilverFace]

steve is easy to like with knowledge galore

[@mikemcv3775]

Love my 318 in My 68' Polara, Not Fast Or Furious, but it turns heads every where I go. Wish they would do a video on the AC conversion on a 318, I see it has a Sanden Compressor. Now I know that I will need to fab a bracket to fit it on my Edelbrock performer manifold.

[@sherlockholmes4769]

Perfect daily driver just like you have it!

[@truck93]

I love that truck!

[@lincoln3307]

I want to be Dulcich's friend! He has sooooooo many Dodges just laying around, he might let me borrow one. You know, the way Freiburger swap stuff back and forth. That's the FRIEND CIRCLE I NEED!!!

[@jb1995]

Man it still sounds great!

[@jasonwcoleman250]

I have a 1970 dodge stepside sweptline (original petina) with a motor home 413 in it. I think that should be the new MOPAR muscle truck, bring the cameras and we'll expand roadkill together!

[@k5ren]

*patina

[@claytonhudson6597]

Dosage is a man after my own heart

[@timsharpe3498]

I have a cool idea for Mr. Dulcich. Please build a 360 bottom end and adapt a set of 318 Poly heads to fit it. That would be the coolest small block Chrysler engine ever and it would be old school hot rodding at its finest.

[@juggernautxtr]

the 318 chrysler, small block, biggest and longest lasting balls. i have an 88 318 d150, 700k never touched except for timing chain.

[@TheSleepyMechanic0524]

juggernautxtr wow! that's insane!

[@jaymoe5.7]

juggernautxtr Holy shit thats insane! Tell that to Chrysler so hopefully the make the 318s again, I loved the 3 that I owned

[@spannersautocomputerrepair7528]

Sounds good!

[@vincentfauconnier1460]

I love these pickups looking for a cheap one at the moment as a daily project

[@johnbehneman1546]

I am impressed!!!!!

[@easytopleez33]

Frieburger and Dolcich are the bomb!! Way better then having to watch Finnegan.

[@ragecage2011]

love the Mopar fitness truck lololol. my dad built a 78 dodge d100 shorty. took two 440 he had sitting around and did kinda same thing but with a bbm it has a 727 trans. 3.55 rear. he put in Durango leather seats Ac and it's a screemer. at 35-40 it will pitch the truck sideways while in drive lololol. keep up the good work Trevor Seattle Washington

[@kavinskysmith4094]

Mopar: Even their small blocks dont suck!

Nice. I have the same truck, same year and color but it's the extended cab with 3 speed manual.

[@Welcometofacsistube]

You guys should showcase the 392 hemi package you can get from Mopar and put it in that beautiful truck

[@nb7466]

My 92 dakota 4x4 with the 318 was my favorite truck. Many burnouts. Lots of mud and all that thing did was burn oil.

[@W5rr2nG]

It sounds damn good

[@toysoldier46552]

For a 318 it still sounds good and seems to have some power.

The heavily ported angle milled heads is the secret!!!

Mucho style points for the Direct Connection valve covers.

Those hoods should say "Power Wagon" right where that little rise is. That's just my opinion. Who else remembers the 2 low selection on the transfer case in them? No effort burnouts.

Thumps up for the sweet fish tail.

[@randallobrien1812]

Dulcich I'm always looking for 70s dodge parts especially big block stuff. I have been looking for a 75 grill just like the one on your step side in this video for my 75 step side. By the way I'm loving your truck

[@eliseoarroyo2030]

man i love dodge

[@69castellano]

I would love to see the mopar muscle truck get a modern Hemi to actually compete with the roadkill muscle truck on the same level.
